A reinforced concrete column has 6 steel rods inserted in


A reinforced concrete column has 6 steel rods inserted in the column and the apparatus is subjected to a temperature drop of 90degrees F. from its stress free state. Knowing: the force applied at the top of the column is 320 kips, Area ofsteel =6 squared inches, Area of concrete = 240 squared inches,modulus of elasticity for steel = 30,000 ksi, modulus of elasticityfor concrete = 5,000 ksi, α steel = 6.5 x10-6 / degrees Farenheit, α concrete = 4.0 x10-6 / degrees Farenheit. Assuming linearbehavior, what is the stress in the steel, the stress in theconcrete, and the deformation of the column
