A steel post (E=30×106) having thickness t = 1/8 in. and height L = 72 in. support a stop sign (see figure), where s = 12.5 in. The height of the post L is measured from the base to the centroid of the sign. The stop sign is subjected to wind pressure p = 20 lb/ft2 normal to its surface. Assume that the post is fixed at its base. What is the resultant load on the sign? (Sec Appendix E, Case 25, for properties of an octagon, n =8.) What is the maximum bending stress in the post? Repeat part (b) if the circular cut-outs arc eliminated over the height of the post.
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 plane truss shown in the figure supports vertical loads F at joint D, 2F at joint C, and 3F at joint B. Each member is a slender circular pipe (E = 70 GPa) with an outside diameter of 60 mm and wall thickness of 5 mm. Joint B is restrained against displacement perpendicular to the plane of the truss. Determine the critical value of load variable F(kN) at which member BF fails by Eu1er buckling.
A simple log bridge in a remote area consists of two parallel logs with planks across them (see figure). The logs arc Douglas fir with an average diameter 300 mm. A truck moves slowly across the bridge, which spans 2.5 m. Assume that the weight of the truck is equally distributed between the two logs. Because the wheelbase of the truck is greater than 2,5 m, only one set of wheels is on the bridge at a time. Thus, the wheel load on one log is equivalent to a concentrated load W acting at any position along the span. In addition, the weight of one log and the planks it supports is equivalent to a uniform load of 850 N/m acting on the log. Determine the maxi mum permissible wheel load W based upon (a) an allowable bending stress of 7.0 MPa and (b) an allowable shear stress of 0.75 MPa.
Continuous cable A DB runs over a small friction less pulley al D to support beam OABC, which is part of an entrance canopy for a building (see figure}. The canopy segment has a weight W = 1700 lb that acts as a concentrated load in the middle of segment AB. (a) What is the maximum permissible value of load P at C if the allowable force in the cable is 4200 lb? (b) If P = 2300 lb, what is the required diameter of pins A, B, and D? Assume that the pins are in double shear and the allowable shear stress in the pins is 10 ksi.
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
A bungee jumper having a mass of 55 kg leaps from a bridge, braking her fall with a long elastic shock cord having axial rigidity EA = 2.3 kN (see figure). If the jumpoff point is 60 m above the water, and if it is desired to maintain a clearance of 10 m between the jumper and the water, what length L of cord should be used?
A truss ABC supports a load W at joint B, as shown in the figure. The length L, of member Aß is fixed, but the length of strut BC varies as the angle is changed. Strut BC has a solid circular cross section. Joint B is restrained against displacement perpendicular to the plane of the truss. Assuming that collapse occurs by Etiler buckling of the strut determine the angle for minimum weight of the strut.
An L-shaped reinforced concrete slab 12 Ft X 12 ft, with a 6 Ft X 6 ft cut-out and thickness t = 9.0 in, is lifted by three cables attached at O, B, and D, as shown in the figure. The cables are are combined at point Q, which is 7.0 Ft above the top of the slab and directly above the center of mass at C. Each cable has an effective cross-sectional area of Ae= 0.12 in2. (a) Find the tensile force Tr(i = 1, 2, 3) in each cable due to the weight W of the concrete slab (ignore weight of cables). (b) Find the average stress ov in each cable. (See Table I-1 in Appendix I for the weight density of reinforced concrete.) (c) Add cable AQ so that OQA is one continuous cable, with each segment having Force T, which is connected to cables BQ and DQ at point Q. Repeat parts (a) and (b). Hini: There are now three Forced equilibrium equations and one constrain equation, T1= T4.
A plane Frame is restrained at joints A and D, as shown in the figure. Members AB and BCD are pin connected at B. A triangularly distributed lateral load with peak intensity of SO N/m acts on CD.

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).
