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. 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
A bar ABC revolves in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis at the midpoint C (see figure). The bar, which has a length 2L and crass-sectional area A, revolves at constant angular speed at. Each half of the bar (AC and BC) has a weight W, and supports a weight W2at its end. Derive the following formula for the elongation of one-half of the bar (that is. the elongation of either AC ar BC). =L223gEA(w1+3w2) in which E is t he modulus of elasticity of the material of the bar and g is the acceleration of gravity.
A steel riser pipe hangs from a drill rig located offshore in deep water (see figure). (a) What is the greatest length (meters) it can have without breaking if the pipe is suspended in the air and the ultimate strength (or breaking strength) is 550 MPa? (b) If the same riser pipe hangs from a drill rig at sea, what is the greatest length? (Obtain the weight densities of steel and sea water from Table M, Appendix I. Neglect the effect of buoyant foam casings on the pipe.)
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 seesaw weighing 3 lb/ft of length is occupied by two children, each weighing 90 lb (see figure). The center of gravity of each child is 8 ft from the fulcrum. The board is 19 ft long, 8 in. wide, and 1.5 in. thick. What is the maximum bending stress in the board?
A sign of weight W is supported at its base by four bolls anchored in a concrete footing. Wind pressure P acts normal to the surface of the sign; the resultant of the uniform wind pressure is force fat the center of pressure (C.P). The wind force is assumed to create equal shear forces F/4 in the y direction at each boll (see figure parts a and c). The overturning effect of the wind force also causes an uplift force R at bolts A and C and a downward force (— R) al bolts B and D (see figure part b). The resulting effects of the wind and the associated ultimate stresses for each stress condition are normal stress in each boll (h — 60 ksi); shear through the base plate (th = 17 ksi); horizontal shear and bearing on each bolt ( tfur = 25 ksi and cr^ = 75 ksi): and bearing on the bottom washer at B (or D) (abor = 50 ksi).
Figure (a) shows the cross section of a column that uses a structural shape known as W867 (wide-flange beam, nominally 8 in. deep, weighing 67 lb/ft). The American Institute of Steel Construction Structural Steel Handbook lists the following cross-sectional properties: A=19.7in.2,Ix=272in.4, and Iy=88.6in.4. Determine the dimensions of the rectangle in Fig. (b) that has the same Ix and Iy as a W867 section.

4. A 15,000 N crane pivots around a friction-free axle at its base and is supported by a cable making a 25° angle with the crane (see figure below). The crane is 16 m long and is not uniform, its center of gravity being 7.0 m from the axle as measured along the crane. The cable is attached 3.0 mfrom the upper end of the crane. When the crane is raised to 55° above the horizontal holding an 11,000N pallet of bricks by a 2.2 m, very light cord, find (a) the tension in the cable and (b) the horizontal andvertical components of the force that the axle exerts on the crane.
