Problem 5.44 - Statically Indeterminate Axial Loads

Picture with a steel tube filled with concrete with a gap subjected to force F. The steel tube has an outer radius of ro and an inner radius of ri. The concrete tube has a radius of ri. The steel tube is L tall with a concrete gap of delta. [Problem adapted from © Kurt Gramoll CC BY NC-SA 4.0]
