Question: Consider the 6 m concrete column ( column 1 ) with a section of 5 0 0 x 3 0 0 m m . Only

Consider the 6 m concrete column (column 1) with a section of 500x300mm. Only half of the column is exposed to the environment with a relative humidity of 70%. The column contains 10 steel reinforcing bars with a diameter of 16 mm each which is distributed symmetrical in the section. The concrete strength on 28 days is 40 MPa. Estimate the shortening of the column after 30 years if it was loaded at 3 days with a force of 900 kN . Assume that the concrete has achieved 50% of the 28 day strength at 3 days. The E-modulus of the steel is 200 GPa.
