A foot bridge on a hiking trail is constructed using two timber logs each having a diameter d = 0.5 m (see figure a). The bridge is simply supported and has a length L = 4 m. The top of each log is trimmed to form the walking surface (see Fig, b)LA simplified model of the bridge is shown in Fig. g. Each log must carry its own weight w = 1.2 kN/m and the weight (P = 850 N) of a person at mid-span, (see Fig. b). Determine the maximum tensile and compressive stresses in the beam (Fig, b) due to bending. If load h is unchanged, find the maximum permissible value of load ... if the allowable normal stress in tension and compression is 2.5 M Pa.
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 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 steel post (E=30×106) having thickness t = 1/8 in. and height L = 72 in. support a stop sign (see figure), where s = 12.5 in. The height of the post L is measured from the base to the centroid of the sign. The stop sign is subjected to wind pressure p = 20 lb/ft2 normal to its surface. Assume that the post is fixed at its base. What is the resultant load on the sign? (Sec Appendix E, Case 25, for properties of an octagon, n =8.) What is the maximum bending stress in the post? Repeat part (b) if the circular cut-outs arc eliminated over the height of the post.
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 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.
A safety valve on the top of a tank containing steam under pressure p has a discharge hole of diameter d(see figure). The valve is designed to release the steam when the pressure reaches the value Pmax If the natural length of the spring, is L and its stiffness is k, what should be the dimension ft of the valve?

The following figure represents a 3-nodes, two-element truss structure with identical cross-sectional area A = 100 mm2 and modulus E = 200 GPa for each element. It is supported by a pin at global node 1, an inclined roller at 135˚ at global node 2 and a horizontal roller at global node 3. A force P = 400 kN is applied at global node 2. Using the direct approach and the minimum number of linear finite elements, what would be the displacement at the global node 2 of the inclined roller in its local coordinate system?
