Question: A civil engineer designed a composite concrete column that is reinforced with 5 steel rods having a diameter ( mathrm { d }

A civil engineer designed a composite concrete column that is reinforced with 5 steel rods having a diameter \(\mathrm{d}=12\mathrm{~mm}\) as shown in Figure 1. The column has a height of \(\mathrm{H}=3.25\mathrm{~m}\) with a square cross-sectional sides of \( A=450\mathrm{~mm}\). The concrete column is fixed from the bottom while a compressive load \(\mathrm{P}=550\mathrm{kN}\) is applied. Take the modulus of elasticity for the concrete and steel rods as 17 GPa and 200 GPa , respectively. Determine:
3.1 the maximum axial deformation of this composite concrete column, and
3.2 the maximum stresses in the steel rod and concrete column.
