A circular steel column is 3 m long with 0.6 m diameter. 

A circular steel column is 3 m long with 0.6 m diameter. It carries a compressive load of 45 MN. Given that the Young's Modulus E is 200 kN/mm, calculate: the compressive stress (N/mm2) and strain and; (ii) the change in length of the column (mm). (8 marks) (3 marks)
