A wide-flange member (W200 × 22.5) is compressed by axial loads that have a resultant P acting at the point shown in the figure. The member has modulus of elasticity E = 200 GPa and pinned conditions at the ends. Lateral supports prevent any bending about the weak axis of the cross section. If the length of the member is 6.2 m and the deflection is limited to 6.5 mm. what is the maximum allowable load Pallow.
A horizontal beam AB is pin-supported at end A and carries a clockwise moment M at joint B, as shown in the figure. The beam is also supported at C by a pinned-end column of length L: the column is restrained laterally at 0.6Z, from the base at D. Assume the column can only buckle in the plane of the frame. The column is a solid steel bar (E = 200 GPa) of square cross section having length L = 2.4 m and side dimensions h = 70 mm. Let dimensions d = LI2. Based upon the critical load of the column, determine the allowable moment M if the factor of safety with respect to buckling is n = 2.0.
During construction of a highway bridge, the main girders are cantilevered outward from one pier toward the next (see figure). Each girder has a cantilever length of 48 m and an I-shaped cross section with dimensions shown in the figure. The load on each girder (during construction) is assumed to be 9,5 kN/m, which includes the weight of the girder. Determine the maximum bending stress in a girder due to this load.
A flying but tress transmit s a load P = 25 kN, acting at an angle of 60º to the horizontal, to the top of a vertical buttress AB (see figure). The vertical buttress has height h = 5.0 m and rectangular cross section of thickness t = 1.5 m and width b = 1.0 m (perpendicular to the plane of the figure). The stone used in the construction weighs y = 26 kN/m3.

A temporary wood flume serving as a channel for irrigation water is shown in the figure. The vertical boards forming the sides of the flume are sunk in the ground, which provides a fixed support. The top of the flume is held by tic rods that are tightened so that there is no deflection of the boards at that point. Thus, the vertical boards may be modeled as a beam AB, supported and loaded as shown in the last part of the figure. Assuming that the thickness t of the boards is 1,5 in., the depth d of the water is 40 in., and the height h to the tie rods is 50 in., what is the maximum bending stress in the boards? Hint: The numerically largest bending moment occurs at the fixed support.
