Given a steel railroad track which was installed at 30 F. Let E = 29 x 10^6 psi and α = 6.5 x 10^-6 / F
If the temperature reaches 125 F,
a) Find the normal stress in the rails which are welded together to form a continuous track.
b) Find the normal stress in the rails assuming the rails are 39 ft. long with 1/4" gap between them

The steel rails of a railroad track (Es = 200 GPa, αs = 11.7 × 10–6/°C) were laid at a temperature of 6°C. Determine the normal stress in the rails when the temperature reaches 48°C, assuming that the rails (a) are welded to form a continuous track, (b) are 10 m long with 3-mm gaps between them.
A railroad track la made of individual rails of steel each 29 feet in length. By what length would one rail change from a cold winter day when the temperature is -10 degree Cto a hot summer day at 30 degree C?

The concrete post (Ec 3.6 x 10 psi and ac 5.5 x 10/F) is reinforced with six steel bars, each of-in. diameter (Es= 29 x 10 psi and as 6.5 x 10/F). Determine the normal stresses induced in the steel and in the concrete by a temperature rise of 60°F. 6 ft 10 in 10 in The normal stress in the steel is ksi. psi The normal stress in the concrete is
(3) Given yy, A-36 Steel Rod attached to the wall. E 29000 ksi, a 6.6 x 10°poF Diameter 3 inches Rod Length 20 inches The gap around the beam is 0.004" (the gap above, below and to the right) These dimensions are at 55°F. Find: If the temperature is increased to 120 °F, what is the normal stress in the beam? Solution
