Chapter 5, Problem 5.9.5P
A sign for an automobile service station is supported by two aluminum poles of hollow circular cross section, as shown in the figure. The poles are being designed to resist a wind pressure of 75 lb/ft" against the full area of the sign. The dimensions of the poles and sign are hx= 20 ft, /r =5 ft, and h = 10 ft. To prevent buckling of the walls of the poles, the thickness e is specified as one-tenth the outside diameter d.
(a) Determine the minimum required diameter of the poles based upon an allowable bending stress of 7500 psi in the aluminum.
(b) Determine the minimum required diameter based upon an allowable shear stress of 300 psi.

- A plane truss is subjected to loads 2P and P at joints B and C, respectively, as shown in the figure part a. The truss bars are made of two L 102 X 76 X 6.4 steel angles (see Table F-5(b): cross-sectional area or the two angles, A = 2180 mm2, and figure part b) having an ultimate stress in tension equal to 390 MPa. The angles are connected to a 12-mm-thick gusset plate at C(figure part c) with 16-mm diameter rivets; assume each rivet transfers an equal share of the member force to the gusset plate. The ultimate stresses in shear and bearing for the rivet steel are 190 MPa and 550 MPa, respectively. Determine the allowable load Pallowif a safety factor of 2.5 is desired with respect to the ultimate load that can be carried.

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.arrow_forwardA large precast concrete panel for a warehouse is raised using two sets of cables at two lift lines, as shown in the figure part a.
