AW310 × 74 wide-flange steel column with length L = 3.8 m is fixed at the base and free at the top (see figure). The load P acting on the column is intended to be centrally applied, but because of unavoidable discrepancies in construction, an eccentricity ratio of 0.25 is specified.

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.
The plane truss shown in the figure supports vertical loads F at joint D, 2F at joint C, and 3F at joint B.

Determine the critical value of load variable F(kN) at which member BF fails by Eu1er buckling.
An elevated jogging track is supported at intervals by a wood beam AB (L = 7.5 ft) that is pinned at A and supported by steel rod BC and a steel washer at B. Both the rod (dBC= 3/16 in.) and the washer (dB= 1.0 in.) were designed using a rod tension force of TBC=415 lb. The rod was sized using a factor of safely of 3 against reaching the ultimate stress tru— 60 ksi. An allowable bearing stress sba= 565 psi was used to size the washer at B. A small platform HF is suspended below a section of the elevated track to support some mechanical and electrical equipment.

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.
