A vertical post AB is embedded in a concrete foundation and held at the top by two cables (see figure). The post is a hollow steel tube with modulus of elasticity 200 GPa, outer diameter of 40 mm, and thickness of 5 mm. The cables are tightened equally by turnbuckles. If a factor of safety of 3,0 against Euler buckling in the plane of the figure is desired, what is the maximum allowable tensile force Tallowin the cables?
The hoisting arrangement for lifting a large pipe is shown in the figure. The spreader is a steel tubular section with outer diameter 70 mm and inner diameter 57 mm. Its length is 2.6 m, and its modulus of elasticity is 200 GPa. Based upon a factor of safety of 2.25 with respect to Euler buckling of the spreader, what is the maximum weight of pipe that can be lifted? (Assume pinned conditions at the ends of the spreader.)
The roof over a concourse at an airport is supported by the use of pretensioned cables. At a typical joint in the roof structure, a strut AB is compressed by the action of tensile forces Fin a cable that makes an angle = 75° with the strut (see figure and photo). The strut is a circular tube of steel (E = 30,000 ksi) with outer diameter d2= 2.5 in. and inner diameter d1= 2.0 in. The strut is 5.75 ft long and is assumed to be pin-connected at both ends. Using a factor of safety n = 2.5 with respect to the critical load, determine the allowable force F in the cable.
A sign for an automobile service station is supported by two aluminum poles of hollow circular cross section, as shown in the figure. The poles are being designed to resist a wind pressure of 75 lb/ft" against the full area of the sign. The dimensions of the poles and sign are hx= 20 ft, /r =5 ft, and h = 10 ft. To prevent buckling of the walls of the poles, the thickness e is specified as one-tenth the outside diameter d. (a) Determine the minimum required diameter of the poles based upon an allowable bending stress of 7500 psi in the aluminum. (b) Determine the minimum required diameter based upon an allowable shear stress of 300 psi.
A long re Lai nine: wall is braced by wood shores set at an angle of 30° and supported by concrete thrust blocks, as shown in the first part of the figure. The shores are evenly spaced at 3 m apart. For analysis purposes, the wall and shores are idealized as shown in the second part of the figure. Note that the base of the wall and both ends of the shores are assumed to be pinned. The pressure of the soil against the wall is assumed to be triangularly distributed, and the resultant force acting on a 3-meter length of the walls is F = 190 kN. If each shore has a 150 mm X 150 mm square cross section, what is the compressive stress

Two cables, each having a length i. of approximately 40 m, support a loaded -container of weight W (see figure). The cables, which have an effective cross-sectional area A = 48.0 mm2 and effective modulus of elasticity E = 160 GPa. are identical except that one cable is longer than the other when they are hanging separately and unloaded. The difference in lengths is d = 100 mm. The cables are made of steel having an elastoplastic stress-strain diagram with a r= 500 MPa. Assume that the weight ft' is initially zero and is slowly increased by the addition of material to the container. (a) Determine the weight Wythat lirsl produces yielding of the shorter cable. Also, determine the corresponding elongation 5 of the shorter cable. (b) Determine the weight Wpthat produces yielding of both cables.

Slender column ABC is supported at A and C and is subjected to axial load P. Lateral support is provided at mid-height if but only in the plane of the figure; lateral support perpendicular to the plane of the figure is provided only at ends A and C. The column is a steel W shape with modulus of elasticity E = 200 GPa and proportional limit pl= 400 MPa. The total length of the column L = 9 m. If the al low-able load is 150 kN and the factor of safety is 2.5, determine the lightest W 200 section that can be used for the column. (See Table F-l(b), Appendix F).
