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. The cross section of a tie, shown in part b of the figure, has a width b =5.0 in. and depth d. Determine the minimum value of d based upon an allowable bending stress of 1125 psi in the wood tie.

A retaining wall 6 ft high is constructed of horizontal wood planks 2.5 in. thick (actual dimension) that are supported by vertical wood piles of a 12 in, diameter (actual dimension), as shown in the figure. The lateral earth pressure is pt=125 lb/ft2 at the top of the wall and p2= 425 lb/ft2 at the bottom. Assuming that the allowable stress in the wood is 1175 psi, calculate the maximum permissible spacing s of the piles. Find the required diameter of the wood piles so that piles and planks (f = 2.5 in.) reach the allowable stress at the same time. Hint: Observe that the spacing of the piles may be governed by the load-carrying capacity of either the planks or the piles. Consider the piles to act as cantilever beams subjected to a trapezoidal distribution of load, and consider the planks to act as simple beams between the piles. To be on the safe side, assume that the pressure on the bottom plank is uniform and equal to the maximum pressure.
