A 6 ft high column is made from a hollow steel shell filled with concrete. The steel shell cross-section is 6 in x 6 in square with a wall thickness of 1⁄2 in. The column is subjected to a load of 1,000 kips. ES = 29x106 psi, and EC = 3.5x106 psi.
a. Calculate the load supported by the steel and by the concrete. b. Calculate the stress in the steel and the stress in the concrete. c. Calculate the deflection of the column.
