Question

 (a) A steel structural member of length = 10 ft. is supported between two fixed supports so that it cannot expand.  At 68°F, there is no stress in the member. 

(E = 30 x 106 psi and α = 6.5 x 10-6/°F)  

 Calculate the stress (psi) in the member at 95°F.   Stress (psi) =   

 

(b) If the same structural member is not supported between two fixed supports, calculate the total elongation of the member (in.) for the same temperature change.       

elongation (in.) =
