A short column with a wide-flange shape is subjected to a compressive load that produces a resultant force P = 54.1 kN acting at the midpoint of one flange (see figure). P = 55 kN Cover plate (120 mm x 10 mm) (Part (c) only) 8 mm 200 C mm 12 mm 160 mm ? (a) Determine the maximum tensile and compressive stresses $sigma_t$ and $sigma_c$, respectively, in the column. (Enter your answers in MPa. Use the deformation sign convention.) $sigma_t$ = ____ MPa $sigma_c$ = ____ MPa (b) Locate the neutral axis under this loading condition. (Enter the value of y, in mm, on which this axis lies.) ____ mm (c) Recompute maximum tensile and compressive stresses if a 120 mm x 10 mm cover plate is added to one flange as shown. (Enter your answers in MPa. Use the deformation sign convention.) $sigma_t$ = ____ MPa $sigma_c$ = ____ MPa

Step 1
The cross-sectional area of the column can be calculated as follows: A = (200 - 2(8)) x (160 - 10) = 30,240 mm^2 Show more…
