Question: PROBLEM 3 The 5 - f t concrete post is reinforced with six steel bars, each with a 7 8 - i n . diameter.

PROBLEM 3
The 5-ft concrete post is reinforced with six steel bars, each with a 78-in. diameter.
Knowing that Es=29106 and Ec=3.6106, determine the normal stresses in
the steel and in the concrete when a 200-kip (200,000lbf) axial centric force is applied to
the post (so that it is in compression).
a) Enter the stress in the steel in ksi (thousands of psi )1ksi=1,000
b) Enter the stress in the concrete in ksi (thousands of psi )1ksi=1,000
IMPORTANT: do not enter the units, and do not forget to have a minus sign to indicate
compression.
