Cover is the distance from the edge of the concrete to the centre of the reinforcing bar:
Material properties are Esteel = 200 GPa Econcrete = 28 GPa, and both materials experience linearly elastic behaviour.
The member is used as a column and is subjected to axial compression.
UC type : 200UC52.2
steel bar diameter ds(mm): 16
spacing: 2.5 ds
cover :70mm
column height (L/duc):24
fsteel,max = 95MPa
fconcrete,max= 12MPa
strain (concrete)max = 425 x 10^-6
max shortening =2.25 mm
the column must satisfy the various stress, strain and absolute shortening limits
What is the maximum axial load P to satisfy all the design criteria?
Your answer should clearly show the values of steel and concrete stress and strain, and axial
shortening, for this value of P.
