Column AB is made from high strength pre-cast concrete and reinforced with four 20 mm diameter A-36 steel rods. The allowable normal stress for the high strength concrete and the steel are $(\sigma_{allow})_{con} = 13$ MPa and $(\sigma_{allow})_{st} = 170$ MPa, respectively. The modulus of elasticity for high strength concrete is 29 GPa and for A-36 steel is 200 GPa. (Figure 1)
