2. A redwood timber member w/ a 20 inch square cross section is reinforced w/ an ASTM structural steel Angle (L6 x 6 x 1) at each corner as shown. The materials are so attached as to act as a single unit. Compute the total allowable axial compressive load that may be applied through a rigid cap plate that covers the entire cross-sectional area. Use dressed dimensions and assume the materials have the same length. The allowable compressive stress is 20,000 psi.
