A square wood platform is 8 ft × 8 ft in area and rests on masonry walls (see figure). The deck of the platform is constructed of 2-in. nominal thickness tongue-and-groove planks (actual thickness 1.5 in.; sec Appendix CL) supported on two S-ft long beams. The beams have 4 in. × (i in. nominal dimensions (actual dimensions 3.5 in. × 5.5 in.). The planks arc designed to support a uniformly distributed load n ( lb/ft" i acting over the entire top surface of the platform. I be allowable bending stress for the planks is 2400 psi and the allowable shear stress is 100 psi. W ben analyzing the planks, disregard their weights and assume that their reactions are uniformly distributed over the top surfaces of the supporting beams. (a) Determine the allowable platform load Mr. (lb/ft2) based upon the bending stress in the planks. (b) Determine the allowable platform load if-. (lb/ft-) based upon the shear stress in the planks. (c) Which of the preceding values becomes the allowable load alolow on the platform? Hints: Use care in constructing the loading diagram for the planks, noting especially that the reactions are distributed loads instead of concentrated loads. Also, note that the maximum shear forces occur at the inside faces of the supporting beams.
Floor joists are structural members which support flooring in structures, as in the diagram on the right. The floor sits upon the minor length of the joist, and the joists are set at equal spacing to reach the desired floor stiffness. How many 2x6 joists would it take to equal the floor stiffness of the same floor supported by ten (10) 2x12 joists of the same species?

For a concrete column that is part of a braced frame, if the column is square, tied, 18 inches per side, 16 feet long, classify the column as slender or non slender. Assume that at one end of the column a clockwise moment of 100 k-ft is present, and that at the other end of the column a counter-clockwise moment of 25 k-ft is present. You may assume that K=1.

A mild steel bar 60mm in diameter is simply supported and has a span of 2m. What load suspended at the middle of the span will cause a deflection of 8mm? E = 200000MPa, specific weight if steel is 75KN/cu.m.
A uniform beam, 1.5 metre long, is suspended in a horizontal position by two vertical support rods as shown in the figure below. Rod A has a diameter of 12 mm and manufactured from steel with Esteel = 210 GPa. Rod B has a diameter of 16 mm and is made from copper with Ecopper = 105 GPa. This simply supported beam is to carry a motor vehicle engine and gearbox weighing 5,5 kN. Determine the distance ‘x’ from the left-hand support ‘A’ in order for the beam to remain in a horizontal position. Calculate the stress in each rod due to the applied load. Calculate the movement (extension) of the support wires under this 10 kN load. Will the rods be able to withstand the applied load? Motivate your answer.
A team of design engineers are designing an amusement park structure as in Figure 2below. The horizontal beam supporting the gondolas at both ends are supported by 2vertical bars, bar EB and bar CF with a cross sectional area of 11,100mm2 and 9,280mm2each. Gondola 1 (left) weighs 380 kN and Gondola 2 (right) weighs 360kN respectively. Due to theweight of both the gondolas, the design team needs to investigate the verticaldisplacements of both ends of the horizontal beam at A and D. You are required to helpthem analyze and calculate the vertical displacement at both ends due to the weight ofthe gondolas.
