The post is a Douglas-fit, 6x6 54S, member with actual cross-sectional dimensions of 55" x 5.5" Determine the axial compressive stress that develops in the post. ExB SAS Doug-Fic) Short timber post in compression

Answer 1

Given,

The axial load = 10,000 lb

We know,

The axial compression stress = Load / Area

= 10,000 / (3.5 * 5.5) psi

= 519.48 psi
