Two mild steel tie bars for a bridge structure are to be joined by thickness of...
. Design a cotter joint to connect two mild steel rods. The joint is subjected to 90 kN tensile forces. The allowable limits of tensile, shear and crushing strengths are 160 N/ mm 100 N/mm and 200 N/mm respectively
A triple riveted butt joint with equal double cover plates (zig-zag riveting) is used for the longitudinal joint of a Lancashire boiler of 2.5 m internal diameter. The working steam pressure is 1.12 N/mm2 and the efficiency of the joint is 85 per cent. Calculate the plate thickness for mild steel of 460 MPa ultimate tensile strength. Assume ratio of tensile to shear stresses as 7/6 and factor of safety 4. The resistance of the rivets in double shear is...
Two metallic plates of thickness e=5 mm are joint together using joint covers of the same thickness t=2,5 mm and width b=5 cm. Other dimensions of the joint are given by: s=1 cm and r=1 mm. The joint is realized with four screws without pretensioning of diameter 8 mm. The screw holes have a diameter that is one millimeter larger than the diameter of the screws. The admissible shear stress in screws or plates is Tadm=110 MPa, the admissible compressive...
A 3 m rigid bar AB is supported with a vertical translational spring at A and a pin at B The bar is subjected to a linearly varying distributed load with maximum intensity g Calculate the vertical deformation of the spring if the spring constant is 700 kN/m. (ans: 21.43 mm) 2. A steel cable with a nominal diameter of 25 mm is used in a construction yard to lift a bridge section weighing 38 kN. The cable has an...
