Percent Elongation at Fracture = Strain at Fracture x 100 = 73.5% Percent Area Reduction at Fracture = (40.26mm2 – 3.50mm2)/40.26mm2 x 100 = 91.3% ANSWERS:
E = 220000 MPa y = 236 MPa ult = 608 MPa Percent Elongation at Fracture = 73.5% Percent Reduction in Area at Fracture = 91.3% Material: 304 Stainless Steel. You probably came up with something
different. Which is OK. This part of the problem was to show you that a lot of metals have similar properties.

PROBLEM #7: Given: A 14 inch square concrete column reinforced by four (4) #6 steel reinforcing bars. The reinforcing steel is placed at 2 inches from each side (see diagram provided in class). The column is 10 feet in total length. The concrete has a compressive strength of 4,000 pounds per square inch (psi). Required: Determine the composite elastic modulus for this column and determine the change of length of the column for loads ranging from 0 to 100 kips. Solution:
57 (ACI 318-14) where E is in ksi and concrete compressive strength is in
psi. Therefore, Econc = 3605 ksi Es = 29,000 ksi (see textbook and AISC Manual of Steel Design). Asteel = 4 x A#6 bar = 4 x (0.44in2) = 1.76 in2. Note A#6 bar is from ASTM A615/A615M-16. Table 1 from ASTM A615/A615M-16.

PROBLEM #8: Given: You are conducting a wave equation analysis of piles (WEAP) for a single acting Delmag D30-32 diesel hammer. The contractor tells you that he would like to use three (3) layers of 1 inch thick Micarta (EM = 225 ksi) and two (2) layers of ½ inch thick aluminum (EAL = 10,000 ksi) as the hammer cushion. These layers have a diameter of 22.5 inches as they fit into the helmet. Required: Determine the elastic modulus of the composite hammer cushion. Does it affect the composite modulus if he changes the order in which he places the aluminum and Micarta layers together? Briefly explain why or why not. Solution:
Acushion = 398 in2 Vtotal = Acushion x Thickness = (398in2)(4inches) = 1592 in3 VAl = (Acushion x TAl)/Vtotal = (398in2)(1in)/1592in3 = 0.25 VM = Acushion x TM= (398in2)(3in)/1592in3 = 0.75 Therefore Ecomp = 298 ksi. No. It does not affect the composite modulus. Is the order of the composite materials a factor in the relevant equation? No, it is not.
