A rectangular column with cross-sectional dimensions b and h is pin-supported at ends A and C (see figure). At mid-height, the column is restrained in the plane of the figure but is free to deflect perpendicularly to the plane of the figure.

A long, rectangular copper bar under a tensile load P hangs from a pin that is supported by two steel posts (see figure). The copper bar has a length of 2.0 m, a cross-sectional area of4S00 mm", and a modulus of elasticity Ec= 120 GPa. Each steel post has a height of 0.5 m, a cross-sectional area of 4500 mm2, and a modulus of elasticity E = 200 GRa. (a) Determine the downward displacement
-12 A horizontal beam AB is supported at end A and carries a load Q at joint B, as shown in the figure part a. The beam is also supported at C by a pinned-end column of length L. The column has flexural rigidity EI. For the case of a sliding support at A (figure part a), what is the critical load Qcr? (In other words, at what load QCTdoes the system collapse because of Euler buckling of the column DC?) Repeat part (a) if the sliding support at A is replaced by column AF with a length 3L/2 and flexural rigidity EI (see figure part b).
A T-frame structure is composed of prismatic beam ABC and nonprismatic column DBF that are joined at B by a friction less pin connection. The beam has a sliding, support at A and the column is pin supported at F (see figure). Beam ABC and. column segment DB have cross-sectional area A; column segment BF has area 2A. The modulus of elasticity E is the same for both members. Load 2P is applied downward at C, and load P acts at D. Find expressions for the downward displacements of column DBF at D (5D) and also at B (
A column ABC is supported at ends A and C and compressed by an axial load P (figure a). Lateral support is provided at point B but only in the plane of the figure; lateral support perpendicular to the plane of the figure is provided only at A and C. The column is constructed of two channel sections (C 6 × 8.2) back to back (see figure b). The modulus of elasticity of the column is E = 29,500 ksi and the proportional limit is 50 ksi. The height of the column is L = 15 ft. Find the allowable value of load P using a factor of safety of 2.5.
The horizontal beam ABC shown in the figure is supported by columns BD and CE. The beam is prevented from moving horizontally by the pin support at end A. Each column is pinned at its upper end to the beam, but at the lower ends, support D is a sliding support and support E is pinned. Both co lu in us arc solid steel bars (E = 30 × 106 psi) of square cross section with width equal to 0.625 in. A load Q acts at distance a from column BD. If the distance a = 12 in., what is the critical value Qcr of the load? If the distance a can be varied between 0 and 40 in., what is the maximum possible value of Qcr? What is the corresponding value of the distance a?
The roof beams of a warehouse are supported by pipe columns (see figure) having an outer diameter d2= 100 mm and inner diameter d2, = 90mm. The columns have a length L = 4.0 m, modulus E = 210 GPa, and fixed supports at the base. Calculate the critical load Pcrof one of the columns using the following assumptions: (a) the upper end is pinned and the beam prevents horizontal displacement; (b) the upper end is fixed against rotation and the beam prevents horizontal displacement; (c) the upper end is pinned, but the beam is free to move horizontally; and (d) the upper end is fixed against rotation, but the beam is free to move horizontally.
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 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 long slender column ABC is pinned at ends A and C and compressed by an axial force F (sec figure). At the midpoint B, lateral support is provided to prevent deflection in the plane of the figure. The column is a steel wide-flange section (W 250 × 67) with E = 200 GPa. The distance between lateral supports is L = 5.5 m. Calculate the allowable load P using a factor of safety n = 2.4, taking into account the possibility of Eu 1er buckling about cither principal centroidal axis (i.e., axis 1-1 or axis 2-2).
