Transcribed Image Text:Prob. 3.4-2. A column in a two-story building is fabricated
from square structural steel tubing having a modulus of elas-
ticity E = 210 GPa. The cross-sectional dimensions of the
two segments are shown in Fig. P3.4-2b. Axial loads PA
200 kN and PB = 300 kN are applied to the column at levels
A and B, as shown in Fig. P3.4-2a. (a) Determine the axial
stress σ₁ in segment AB of the column and the axial stress
₂ in segment BC of the column. (b) Determine the amount
8 by which the column is shortened.
