Question
A rigid horizontal bar (Weight = 20 kips) is supported by two (2) square aluminum columns as shown. If
the rigid bar remained in a horizontal position after the temperature in the whole assembly is increased
by 100°C, determine the initial gap (A, inches) between the circular steel column and rigid bar. Also,
determine the final axial stresses in each column and draw the properly labelled deformation diagram to
support your answer. Show step-by-step solution.
