A square section, 500 mm×500 mm, reinforced concrete column has a reinforcement of four steel rods, each of diameter 25 mm, embedded axially in the concrete. Determine the compressive stresses in the concrete and the steel when the column is subject to a compressive load of 1000 kN. The modulus of elasticity of the steel is 200 GPa and that of the concrete 14 GPa.
