The timber (with dimensions of 6 in x 6 in x 20 ft) shown in the schematic is submerged in water and hinged to the wall at one end. The timber weighs 30 lb/ft³ and is held in a horizontal position as shown by a concrete anchor that has specific weight of 150 lb/ft³. What is the minimum total weight of the anchor to keep the timber in the horizontal position shown? (Use specific weight of water as Ywater = 62.4 lb/ft³.) Water Timber 6"x6"x20' Anchor

Multiple timber beams are glued as given below. A shear force of V is applied to the section. Contractor notifies that the timber used for the section has τall = 6 MPa. The manufacturer guarantees that the glue seam at B resists shear stress up to τmax-glue = 3 MPa. Determine the maximum shear V.
please solve it as soon as possible with clear hand-writing. THANK YOU
A section of a scaffold consists of a plank laid across two supports & extending a distance 'a' on either side of the supports. A mason working at the centre of the plank thinks that he should stack his supply of bricks on the ends of the plank in order to minimize the bending moment in the plank. Is he correct? If equal numnber of bricks are stacked at each end of the plank, for what weight of bricks W, is the maximum bending moment in the plank a minimum? The man weighs W 2.6 We We D.

6. The figure (next page) shows an experimental set-up for testing the bending capacity of a wood cross-beam. Note that the grain directions for the two support columns are different. The vertical columns have a cross-section of 3 in. x 3 in., and are both 5 in. long. The beam has a cross-section of 2 in. x 4 in. and has a length of 8 in. The stronger column has a compressive strength of 4675 psi and a modulus of elasticity of 0.8 x 106 psi. The weaker column has a compressive strength of 1545 psi and a modulus of 0.4 x 106 psi. a. What is the maximum allowable load, P, on the beam if its modulus of rupture (MOR) is 5230 psi and the moment M=2P? b. If a total load P= 28000 Ib is supported, wil either column fail due to this load? Show calculations to support your answer.

Two wooden planks, each 12 mm thick and 225 mm wide, are joined by the dry mortise joint shown.

A 100-foot-long surveyor’s steel tape with a cross-sectional area of 0.006 square inch must be stretched with a pull of 16# when in use. If the modulus of elasticity of this steel is , (a) what is the total elongation in the 100 foot tape and (b) what unit tensile stress is produced by the pull?
Why is the weight of steel column per linear foot not necessarily correlated to the nominal compressive stregth of the column?
Given a concrete column that would be required to support loads of Pu=400kips and Mu=50 kip-feet, we will determine the column interaction curve and decide if the column is adequate for this particular application. The column will be a 14”x14” square, tied column with #9 bars at the corners. The center of the reinforcement in each corner is 3” from each of the sides. The f’c of the concrete is 4 ksi and the reinforcement is Grade 60. Determine if the column is acceptable for this application. Calculate the value of Mu and Pu.
