As an engineer in construction company, you are assigned a new job which is to design a solid, lightweight aluminium alloys column that can withstand compressive load P as shown in Figure 2. By either selecting 6061-T6 aluminium alloy or 2014-T6 aluminium alloys, determine the maximum load P if the eccentricity is 40 mm and allowable bending stress is 250 MPa. 70 mm 150 mm 150mm Figure 2 2.5 m In your design proposal, clearly stated the following: i) The material that you selected ii) The calculated maximum load P using allowable stress method The calculated maximum load P using interaction method iii) [30 Marks] [CO4, PO4, C4]
