Question

A timber column, 8in. by 8in. in cross section is reinforced on all four sides by steel plates, each plate being 8in. wide and "t"in. thick. Determine the smallest value of "t" for which the column can support an axial load of 300 kips if the working stresses are 1200psi for timber and 20ksi for steel. The moduli of elasticity are 1.5x10^6psi for timber and 29x10^6psi foe steel

-Draw and label the diagram correctly, No diagram in the solution will be marked wrong. 
-Shortcut solution will be marked wrong.
- Direction of the assumption of the equilibrium equation must be shown, no direction will be marked wrong.

2.46 A timber column, 8 in. by 8 in. in cross section, is reinforced on all four sides
by steel plates, each plate being 8 in. wide and t in. thick. Determine the smalest
value of t for which the column can support an axial load of 300 kips if the working
stresses are 1200 psi for timber and 20 ksi for steel. The moduli of elasticity are
1.5 x 10° psi for timber and 29 x 10° psi for steel.
