A rigid steel plate is supported by three posts of high-strength concrete each having an effective cross-sectional area A = 40,000 mm2 and length L = 2 m (see figure). Before the load P is applied, the middle post is shorter than the others by an amount s = 1.0 mm. The allowable compressive stress in the concrete is 20 MPa and E of concrete is 30 GPa. Determine the axial deformation in mm of the outer posts when the axial stresses reached the allowable compressive stress of 20 MPa. (2 decimals)

A rigid steel plate is supported by three posts of high-strength concrete each having an
effective cross-sectional area A = 40,000 mm2 and length L = 2 m (see figure). Before
the load P is applied, the middle post is shorter than the others by an amount s = 1.0
mm. The allowable compressive stress in the concrete is 20 MPa and E of concrete is
30 GPa.
Determine the axial deformation in mm of the outer posts when the axial stresses
reached the allowable compressive stress of 20 MPa. (2 decimals)
