Question
If the block is subjected to a centrally applied force of $P=6$ kip, determine the average normal stress in the material. Show the stress acting on a differential volume element of the material.
Step 1
The cross-sectional area is the area of the surface perpendicular to the direction of the force. In this case, the force is centrally applied, so we need to find the area of the face of the block. Show more…

The plastic block is subjected to an axial compressive force of 600 N. Assuming that the caps at the top and bottom distribute the load uniformly throughout the block, determine the average normal and average shear stress acting along section $a-a$
If column $A B$ is made from high strength precast concrete and reinforced with four $\frac{3}{4}$ in. diameter $\mathrm{A}-36$ steel rods, determine the average normal stress developed in the concrete and in each rod. Set $P=75$ kip.
