SIMPLE STRAIN
1. You are in the middle of constructing a truss with pin connection at each node. Additional materials available to add to the current status of the structure are four 14'-2" long steel cables. Locate these cables in appropriate positions to stabilize the structure. Determine the force characteristics (with arrows) and force magnitudes of each member of the completed structure, Draw a diagram of the relative sizes of the individual members of the truss. 1k 1k 1k 2k 1.5k 6.SEk 1.Sak 15 10ft 1.Sk 1.5k 10ft 10ft 10ft 10ft 2. Re-draw the truss you already completed and solved in 4-1 with the only change of its height from 10 ft to 5 ft. Solve it again and display the force magnitude of each member. You don't have to show your work for this if you can solve this problem without any written calculation. Briefly discuss the impact of the structural depth.
The wooden tree trunk is immersed in water and is anchored to the bottom with a cable.Determine the following: (a) Tensile force in the cable; (b) Specific weight of wood
The two main cables on a bridge are each 9,800 feet long. Each cable is composed of 45,000 individual high strength steel wires, tightly bound together. The maximum allowable load on the cable is such that the tensile stress in each individual wire can be no greater than 20×103 psi. a. Given that the diameter of each steel wire is 0.25 in, calculate the maximum allowable tensile force each cable can bear. b. When a 12 in. long steel wire was tested in the laboratory under a tensile stress of 20×103 psi, the tensile strain in the wire was measured to be 0.00067. Calculate the elongation of the wire tested.
A steel pad supporting heavy machinery rests on four short, hollow, cast iron piers (see figure). The ultimate strength of the cast iron in compression is 400 MPa. The total load P that may be supported by the pad is 890 kN. Using a factor of safety 3.0 with respect to ultimate strength, determine the outer diameter of the pier (in mm) if the thickness of the cross section is 10 mm. mm
STEEL DESIGN Situation 1: Situation 3: A light crane rail sits on and is securely fastened to a W crane girder. The girder is simply supported on a span of 6 m. The crane wheel loads are as follows: V = 80 kN and H = 8 kN. Assume full transfer of lateral load to the top flange of the girder. An 8-m long steel column is pinned at the top and fixed at the bottom. The column is provided with lateral support at mid-height in the weak direction.

SITUATION 1: A precast girder of length 20 m is to be lifted at two points at equal distance from both ends. The weight of the girder is 0.10787 oz/mm. And its section modulus is 900,000 mm3. The moment should be made as small as possible. 1. Determine the distance (m) of the pick-up points from each end.
