The cross section of a narrow-gage railway bridge is shown in part a of the figure. The bridge is constructed with longitudinal steel grinders that support the wood cross ties. The bridge is constructed with longitudinal steel girders that support the wood cross ties. The girders are restrained against lateral buckling by diagonal bracing, as indicated by the dashed lines. The spacing of the girders is S1= 50 in. and the spacing of the rails is s2= 30 in. The load transmitted by each rail to a single tie is P = 1500 1b.

An elevated jogging track is supported at intervals by a wood beam AB (L = 7.5 ft) that is pinned at A and supported by steel rod BC and a steel washer at B. Both the rod (dBC= 3/16 in.) and the washer (dB= 1.0 in.) were designed using a rod tension force of TBC=415 lb. The rod was sized using a factor of safely of 3 against reaching the ultimate stress tru— 60 ksi. An allowable bearing stress sba= 565 psi was used to size the washer at B. A small platform HF is suspended below a section of the elevated track to support some mechanical and electrical equipment. The equipment load is uniform load q = 50 lb/ft and concentrated load WE= 175 lb at mid-span of beam HF.

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.
