Chapter 4 Problem 4-32

Question

The column is constructed from high-strength concrete and eight A992 steel reinforcing rods. If the column is subjected to an axial force of 200 kip, determine the required diameter of each rod so that 60% of the axial force is carried by the concrete.

Solution

Step 1 of 4

Given information:

The diameter of the column \(d_c=8\mathrm{\ in}\).

Length of the column \(L_c=3\ \mathrm{ft}\).

The column is constructed from high-strength concrete and eight A992 steel reinforcing rods.

The Young’s modulus of the high-strength concrete \(E_c=4.2\times10^3\mathrm{\ ksi}\).

The young’s modulus of A992 steel \(E_s=29\times10^3\mathrm{\ ksi}\).

Axial force \(P=200\ \mathrm{kip}\).

The axial force of concrete is 60% of the axial force.

The axial force of steel is 40% of the axial force.
