An elevated jogging track is supported at intervals by a wood beam AB (L = 7.5 ft) that is pinned at A and supported by steel rod BC and a steel washer at B. Both the rod (dBC= 3/16 in.) and the washer (dB= 1.0 in.) were designed using a rod tension force of TBC=415 lb. The rod was sized using a factor of safely of 3 against reaching the ultimate stress tru— 60 ksi. An allowable bearing stress sba= 565 psi was used to size the washer at B. A small platform HF is suspended below a section of the elevated track to support some mechanical and electrical equipment.

A sign of weight W is supported at its base by four bolls anchored in a concrete footing. Wind pressure P acts normal to the surface of the sign; the resultant of the uniform wind pressure is force fat the center of pressure (C.P). The wind force is assumed to create equal shear forces F/4 in the y direction at each boll (see figure parts a and c). The overturning effect of the wind force also causes an uplift force R at bolts A and C and a downward force (— R) al bolts B and D (see figure part b). The resulting effects of the wind and the associated ultimate stresses for each stress condition are normal stress in each boll (h — 60 ksi); shear through the base plate (th = 17 ksi); horizontal shear and bearing on each bolt ( tfur = 25 ksi and cr^ = 75 ksi): and bearing on the bottom washer at B (or D) (abor = 50 ksi).
A long re Lai nine: wall is braced by wood shores set at an angle of 30° and supported by concrete thrust blocks, as shown in the first part of the figure. The shores are evenly spaced at 3 m apart. For analysis purposes, the wall and shores are idealized as shown in the second part of the figure. Note that the base of the wall and both ends of the shores are assumed to be pinned. The pressure of the soil against the wall is assumed to be triangularly distributed, and the resultant force acting on a 3-meter length of the walls is F = 190 kN.
