Determine the normal stress in the steel


A 4-ft concrete post is reinforced with four steel bars, each with a 3/4 in. diameter. Knowing that E of steel= 29x10^6 psi and Eof concrete= 3.6x10^6 psi, determine the normal stress in the steel and in the concrete when a 150-kip axial centric force P is applied to the post.
