Question: Problem 3 ( 3 0 points ) The critical state of strain in the supporting pylon of a segmental box girder bridge is given below

Problem 3(30 points)
The critical state of strain in the supporting pylon of a segmental box girder bridge is given below in tensor form (units of microstrain).
[xyz]=[810-657101-6571205443101443-730]
(a.) Calculate the corresponding stresses given the following material properties: E=29,000ksi, v=0.3, and G=11,150ksi. Provide the values in units of ksi .
(b.) Determine the minimum uniaxial yield strain (tension or compression) to prevent the pylon from failing by using an analogous approach for strain as that used for stress in the Tresca yield criterion and Von Mises yield criterion.
