Example 15.3: A galvanised steel tower member has original length of 22 cm and cross<br />

sectional area 13 cm 2 . With working axial tensile load of 125 KN, the change in length was 0.2<br />

mm. Calculate<br />

(a) Stress (b) Strain (c) Modulus of elasticity (d) Percent elongation (e) If ultimate tensile<br />

stress is 110000 N/mm 2 , determine the factor of safety.<br />

Solution:<br />

(a) Stress =<br />

(b) Strain =<br />
