A two-story building has steel columns AB in the first floor and BC in the second floor, as shown in the figure. The roof load P₁ equals 400 kN, and the second-floor load P2 equals 720 kN. Each column has a length L = 3.75 m. Find internal axial forces in each column, then plot the axial force diagram. Ignore the self-weight of the columns. P₁ = 400 KN P₂=720 kN B L = 3,75 m L= 3.75 m

A cylindrical brick chimney of height H weighs w = 825 lb/ft of height (see figure). The inner and outer diameters are d1= 3 ft and d2= 4 ft, respectively. The wind pressure against the side of the chimney is p = 10 lb/ft2 of projected area. Determine the maximum height H if there is to be no tension in the brickwork.

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.
