You have a nominal 3-inch diameter steel pipe, 15 feet high thatis embedded into a concrete foundation. Neglecting the weight ofthe column, answer the questions below:
A. What is the maximum vertical load this pipe cansupport/critical load (#)?
B. If a vertical load of 2,000#s and a horizontal force of 100#sare applied at the top of the column, what are the maximum combinedtensile and compressive stresses (psi) where the column meets itsfoundation? Are they allowable?
Parameter Steel .
Modulus of Elasticity 30,000,000 psi
Proportional/Elastic Limit 34,000 psi
Allowable Bending Stress 24,000 psi
Allowable Axial (C or T) Stress 24,000 psi
Allowable Shear Stress 16,500 psi
Wall thickness 0.216in of pipe
