Problem 4 Member A is a steel rod with circular cross-section. The modulus of elasticity is 29000 ksi. Member B is very stiff compared to Member A, so ignore its deformations. a. Set up the virtual force system for vertical displacements DEAD 20K LIVE 10 k at Node 2. Determine the minimum diameter of rod that can be used if the deflection due to live load cannot exceed 0.5 in Assume that rods are available in 1/8 in. increments, such...
A compression member is subjected to service loads of 165 kips dead load and 535 kips live load. The member is 26 feet long and pinned in each end. Use (A572 - Gr 50) steel and select a W14 shape 1) Use the equations; 2) Use the tables; 3) Use STAAD.Pro or any other commercial software to verify your design 4) Compare and comment on your results.
Steel foot bridge. The main beams are W10X12 A36 steel. Each beam are 36 feet long. Each beam is to support decking 18 in wide for the length of the beam (36 feet). Deck material places a 50 pounds per sq ft distributed load on the beam. In the center of the beam needs to support a 1200 lb point load. What are the loads on the beam and the safety factor?
3. A two bar truss structure is shown in Figure 1. The coordinates of Points A, C and B are given by (0,0), (0, 10") and (10",0), respectively, in which the x-axis is from A to B and the y-axis is from A to C. Points A and C are fixed. The cross-sectional area of all members in inch?. A vertical point load, P, is applied at the tip of the structure, Point B. Based upon either the Principle of...
1. Design and analyze a bridge. Your truss structure should be made entirely of 2 force members, and should include at least 20 members in the design, have a minimum span of 2 feet, and be loaded with 15kg in the center. a) Label each member as being in tension, compression, or under 0 force. b) Identify which member will break first (support with calculations) c) Graph the force in the member that will break first as a function of...
The pin-connected structure shown in Fig. 5 consists of a rigid bar ABCD and two 1,500-mm-long bars. Bar (1) is steel [E=200 GPa] with a cross-sectional area of A1 = 510 mm2. Bar (2) is an aluminium alloy [E-70 GPa] with a cross-sectional area of A2 1,300 mm2. All bars are unstressed before the load P is applied. If a concentrated load of P 200 kN acts on the structure at D determine: (a) the normal stresses in both bars...
