A short compression specimen is composed of concrete and steel. The total cross-sectional area is equal to 15,000mm^2, comprise of 2,500mm^2 of steel surrounded by 12,500mm^2 of concrete. The specimen is subjected to an axial test load which produces a stress of 6N/mm^2 in the concrete. Calculate 1) the stress in steel, 2) the test load referred to. E(steel) = 210kN/mm^2 , E(concrete) = 14kN/mm^2

What precautions should you take to prevent injuries when dealing with heavy loads?

Steel is coated with a thin layer of ceramic to protect against corrosion. what do you expect to happen to the coating when the temperature of the steel is increased significantly? explain.

Adouble-strand no. 60 roller chain is used to transmit power between a 13-tooth driving sprocket rotating at 300 rev/min and a 52-tooth driven sprocket. a) what is the allowable horsepower of this drive? b) estimate the center-to-center distance if the chain length is 82 pitches. c) estimate the torque and bending force on the driving shaft by the chain if the actual horsepower transmitted is 30 percent less than the corrected (allowable) power.
