If a concrete column 200 x 200 mm in cross-section is reinforced with four steel bars of 1200 mm2 total cross-sectional area. Calculate the safe load for the column if permissible stress in concrete is 5 N/mm2 and Es is 15 Ec

P = 5 * {(40000 - 1200) + (1200 * 15)}.

P = 5*(200*200-1200) + (1200*15) = 212000 N
So the answer is E.
So the answer is E.

Ans is C.
Find permissible stress[$] in steel first as:
Permissible stress in steel/permissible stress in concrete = Es/Ec.
Permissible stress in steel = 5 * 15Ec/Ec = 75.
Now solve:
P = 5 * (200 * 200 - 1200) + (1200 * 75) = 284000N = 284.
Find permissible stress[$] in steel first as:
Permissible stress in steel/permissible stress in concrete = Es/Ec.
Permissible stress in steel = 5 * 15Ec/Ec = 75.
Now solve:
P = 5 * (200 * 200 - 1200) + (1200 * 75) = 284000N = 284.

Explain this with formula.

As the elongations are equal, use the formula.
Strain= stress/Young's modulus.
Strain= stress/Young's modulus.

Stress= load/ area,
Stress in steel = load / area of steel and likewise same for concrete,
Es= permissible stress in steel/ strain in steel and likewise same for concrete,
strain in concrete and steel are same = permissible stress in steel/ Es= permissible stress in concrete/ Ec.
Es= 15Ec.
=permissible stress in steel= permissible stress in concrete/ Ec xEs =( 5 /Ec)x 15Ec= 75Mpa for steel.
Load = permissible Stress in steel x area of steel +permissible stress in concrete x area of concrete.
= 75 x 1200+ 5 x (200X200 -1200)= 284kN.
Stress in steel = load / area of steel and likewise same for concrete,
Es= permissible stress in steel/ strain in steel and likewise same for concrete,
strain in concrete and steel are same = permissible stress in steel/ Es= permissible stress in concrete/ Ec.
Es= 15Ec.
=permissible stress in steel= permissible stress in concrete/ Ec xEs =( 5 /Ec)x 15Ec= 75Mpa for steel.
Load = permissible Stress in steel x area of steel +permissible stress in concrete x area of concrete.
= 75 x 1200+ 5 x (200X200 -1200)= 284kN.
