Mechanics of Materials, Axial Loads – Example 2
The reinforced concrete column shown below consists of six A-36 steel reinforcing rods. It experiences an axial force of 50 kips. Find the required diameter of each steel rod so that 75% of the load is carried by the steel and 25% of the load is carried by the concrete .
Es = 29000 ksi
Ec = 4200 ksi (high strength concrete)
