The rectangular steel frame shown is to support a footbridge in a chemical plant. The ends of the bridge are supported on rollers, so the bridge is permitted to sway (unbraced frame). All members are oriented with their webs in the plane of the frame (or such that bending will occur about the strong axis). All columns are assumed to be adequately braced in the weak direction. All beams are W16x50. Assume t = 1.0 (elastic behavior). Determine the design compressive strength of column FB (W8x48). Use the LRFD Method. 15 ft + 10' *fe W8x48 W16x50 25' © W12x58 30' W8x48 10'

b. Discuss how the figure below and determine the rigid bar BDE as used to support by two link AB and CD. 0.4 m 0.3 m B D 0.4 m 30 kN E 0.2 m The Link AB is made of aluminum (E = 70 GPa) and has a cross-sectional area of 500 mm2. Link CD is made of steel (E = 200 GPa) and has a cross- sectional area of (600 mm2). For the 30-kN force shown, determine the deflection a) of B, b) of D, and c) of E.
3) The rigid link is supported by steel wire (1) with an unstretched length of 200 mm and cross-sectional area of 22.5 mm?. Member (2) is a short aluminum of initial length 50 mm and cross-sectional area of 40 mm?. The modulus of elasticity of the steel wire is 200 GPa and the aluminum block is 70 GPa. a) Draw the deflected shape of the rigid member and clearly label the deformation of members (1) and (2). b) Write the equilibrium and compatibility equations needed to solve the problem along with the supporting sketches. Hint: Be sure to carefully consider if the members are elongating or shortening; this must be represented mathematically. c) Calculate the internal forces in both axial members and clearly indicate tension or compression.
