For the structure and loading shown below, find the lateral deflection at the top. Use E = 29,000 ksi and I = 250 in4 for all members. Note that in frames, we neglect axial deformation, so you can calculate the deflection at either of the upper corners; the answer will be the same.

A 9 ft wide and infinitely long flexible strip load of 800 lb/ft2 is placed on an elastic medium as shown in Figure P8.7. Find the vertical stress increase at points A, B, and C located 3 ft below the surface.

The soil profile at a site is shown Figure P16.3. Find the total horizontal normal stresses at A and B, assuming at-rest conditions.

For the beam shown: (a) determine the distance a for which the maximum positive and negative bending moments in the beam are equal; and (b) draw the corresponding shear and bending moment diagrams for the beam.

Use Eq. (6.14) to determine the stress increase () at z = 10 ft below the center of the area described in Problem 6.5. 6.5 Refer to Figure 6.6, which shows a flexible rectangular area. Given: B1 = 4 ft, B2 = 6 ft, L1, = 8 ft, and L2 = 10 ft. If the area is subjected to a uniform load of 3000 lb/ft2, determine the stress increase at a depth of 10 ft located immediately below point O.

The data in Table 1.5.3 were obtained from a tensile test of a metal specimen with a rectangular cross section of 0.2011in.2 in area and a gage length (the length over which the elongation is measured) of 2.000 inches. The specimen was not loaded to failure. a. Generate a table of stress and strain values. b. Plot these values and draw a best-fit line to obtain a stress-strain curve. c. Determine the modulus of elasticity from the slope of the linear portion of the curve. d. Estimate the value of the proportional limit. e. Use the 0.2 offset method to determine the yield stress.

A free-headed drilled shaft is shown in Figure P13.10. Let Qg = 260 kN, Mg = 0, = 17.5 kN/m3, = 35, c' = 0, and Ep = 22 106 kN/m2. Determine a. The ground line deflection, xo b. The maximum bending moment in the drilled shaft c. The maximum tensile stress in the shaft d. The minimum penetration of the shaft needed for this analysis
