Four steel rods each with a cross-sectional area of 1in^2 are embedded in a 5-in diameter light aggregate concrete cylinder. The steel has a yield strength of 36000 psi and a modulus of elasticity of 30x10^6 psi. Assume a very strong interface between the steel and the concrete causes them to experience identical deflections. A rigid plate is placed over both ends of the cylinder and a compressive axial force of 100,000 lb is applied. The stress (psi) induced in the steel rod is: a. 5100 b. 8600 c. 12000 d. 18000

A round, 2m long steel rod (1.5 cm in diameter) is loaded to 400 MPa. Compute the force applied and the deflection of the rod. 2. An aluminum bar that was 2 ft long initially and 1 in in diameter is stretched 1/8". Compute the strain, stress, and applied load. 3. Based on the fillet stress concentration charts, what is the stress concentration factor for a right angle? If a ductile metal (tensile strength of 400 MPa) structure is under an average stress of 100 MPa and has a 90° angle in it, should it fail? Why or why not? What if the material is brittle?

A concrete slab is reinforced by $\frac{5}{8}-$ in. -diameter steel rods placed on 5.5 -in. centers as shown. The modulus of elasticity is $3 \times 10^{6}$ psi for the concrete and $29 \times 10^{6}$ psi for the steel. Using an allowable stress of 1400 psi for the concrete and 20 ksi for the steel, determine the largest bending moment in a portion of slab 1 ft wide.
