Question
An unequal angle section 200 mm x 150 mm x 15 mm is to be used in a truss as a strut of length
4.5 m. The cross-sectional properties of the section are as follows:
Area of cross-section = 5025 mm²; x = 2 x 107 mm4; 1= 9.7 x 106 mm4 Ixy = -8.3 x 106 mm²
Using the table of permissible compressive stresses given below, determine the safe load on the
member.
