A steel pad supporting heavy machinery rests on four short, hollow, cast iron piers (see figure). The ultimate strength of the cast iron in compression is 400 MPa. The total load P that may be supported by the pad is 900 kN. Using a factor or safely 3.0 with respect to ultimate strength, determine the outer diameter of the pier if the thickness, is of the cross section is 12 mm.
A steel pad supporting heavy machinery rests on Four short, hollow, cast iron piers (see figure). The ultimate strength of the cast iron in compression in 50 ksi. The outer diameter of the piers is d = 4.5 in, and the wall thickness is t = 0.40 in. Using a factor of safety of 3.5 with respect to the ultimate strength, determine the total load P that can be supported by the pad.
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. What is the required weight W of the pedestal and statue above the vertical buttress (that is, above section A) to avoid any tensile stresses in the vertical buttress?
Two bars AC and BC of the same material support a vertical load P (see figure). The length L of the horizontal bar is fixed, but the angle fl can be varied by moving support A vertically and changing the length of bar AC to correspond with the new position of support A. The allowable stresses in the bars are the same in tension and compression. When the angle ft is reduced, bar AC becomes shorter, but the cross-sectional areas of both bars increase because the axial forces are larger. The opposite effects occur if the angle 0 is increased. Thus, the weight of the structure (which is proportional to the volume) depends upon the angle ft. Determine the angle ft so that the structure has minimum weight without exceeding the allowable stresses in the bars. Note: The weights of the bars are very small compared to the force P and may be disregarded.
A tie-down on the deck of a sailboat consists of a bent bar boiled at both ends, as shown in the figure. The diameter dBof the bar is 1/4 in., the diameter D Wof the washers is 7/8 in., and the thickness is of the fiberglass deck is 3/8 in. If the allowable shear stress in the fiberglass is 300 psi, and the allowable bearing pressure between the washer and the fiberglass is 550 psi, what is the allowable load P allowon the tie-down?

A large precast concrete panel for a warehouse is raised using two sets of cables at two lift lines, as shown in the figure part a. Cable 1 has a length L1 = 22 Ft, cable 2 has a length L2= 10 ft, and the distance along the panel between lift points Band D is d = 14 ft (see figure part b). The total weight of the panel is W = 85 kips. Assuming the cable lift Forces F at each lift line are about equal, use the simplified model of one half of the panel in figure part b to perform your analysis for the lift position shown. Find the required cross-sectional area AC of the cable if its breaking stress is 91 ksi and a factor of safety of 4 with respect to failure is desired.
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
