Question 1 – Temperature Stresses The railroad network in South Africa (Metrorail/Prasa) consists of steel rails of standardlength, 12 m, connected together. Due to the large variation in minimum and maximumseasonal temperatures in South Africa, a clearance of 3 mm is set (at 160C in winter)between the rails to accommodate expansion and contraction of the steel.1.1 Determine the stress that will be induced in the rails if the temperature rises to 360Cin the summer afternoons.1.2 Will this stress permanently damage the rails? Motivate your answer.(For steel: E = 200 GPa and α = 12×10-6/ OC)
A two-story building has steel columns AB in the first floor and BC in the second floor, as shown in the figure. The roof load P1 equals 400 kN and the second floor load P2 equals 720 kN. Each column has length L = 3.75 m. The cross-sectional areas of the first- and second floor columns are 11,000 mm^2 and 3,900 mm^2, respectively.
