Q: A space truss is restrained at joints O, A, B
A space truss is restrained at joints O, A, B, and C, as shown in the figure. Load P is applied at joint A and load 2P acts downward at joint C. Each member is a slender, circular pipe (E = 10,600 ksi...
See AnswerQ: Determine the maximum permissible length max L for a steel pipe column
Determine the maximum permissible length max L for a steel pipe column that is fixed at the base and free at the top and must support an axial load P = 500 kN (see figure). The column has an outside d...
See AnswerQ: A steel pipe column with pinned ends supports an axial load P
A steel pipe column with pinned ends supports an axial load P = 21 kips. The pipe has outside and inside diameters of 3.5 in. and 2.9 in., respectively. What is the maximum permissible length Lmax of...
See AnswerQ: Column AB has a pin support at A, a roller support
Column AB has a pin support at A, a roller support at B, and is compressed by an axial load P (see figure). The column is a steel W 12 × 35 with modulus of elasticity E = 29,000 ksi and p...
See AnswerQ: A fixed-end column with circular cross section is acted on
A fixed-end column with circular cross section is acted on by compressive axial load P. The 18-ft-long-column has an outer diameter of 5 in, a thickness of 0.5 in., and is made of aluminum with a modu...
See AnswerQ: An aluminum bar having a rectangular cross section (2.0in
An aluminum bar having a rectangular cross section (2.0in. × 1.0in.) and length L = 30 in. is compressed by axial loads that have a resultant P = 2800 lb acting at the midpoint of the lon...
See AnswerQ: A steel bar has a square cross section of width b =
A steel bar has a square cross section of width b = 2.0 in. (see figure). The bar has pinned supports at the ends and is 3.0 ft long. The axial forces acting at the end of the bar have a resultant P =...
