A cast iron 3m long is completely filled with concrete and used as a vertical strut. If the external diameter of the tube is 450mm and the wall is 35mm thick, determine the maximum compressive load the composite strut can support if the stress in the concrete is not 2N/mm2? By how much should the strut shorten under this load? For cast iron EA= 100GN/m2 and for the concrete EB= 10GN/m2?

A cast iron 3m long is completely filled with concrete and used as a vertical strut. If the external
diameter of the tube is 450mm and the wall is 35mm thick, determine the maximum compressive
load the composite strut can support if the stress in the concrete is not 2N/mm2? By how much
should the strut shorten under this load? For cast iron EA= 100GN/m2 and for the concrete EB=
10GN/m2?
