A composite post shown below is being used for a deck. The composite post consists of a square timber post (150mm150mm) and steel angles (100mm100mm5mm) attached to the timber post at its edges. The modulus of elasticity of the timber is 15,000MPa and it has a yield strength of 10MPa. The modulus of elasticity of the steel is 200,000MPa and it has a yield strength of 350MPa. Compute the maximum compressive load that the composite column can resist.
