The original Tacoma Narrows Bridge was the first suspension bridge built across the Puget Sound in Washington. The bridge was strong but relatively light, narrow, and as it turns out—(too) flexible. On the morning of November 7, 1940, in a 42 mph (68 kph) wind, the 2,800-foot (853-m) main bridge span went into a series of torsional oscillations (side-to-side and up-and-down motion) in which the amplitude (size of the motion) steadily increased. This movement tore several suspension cables and broke the main span, causing the bridge to collapse. The failure of the bridge was a shock to the engineering community. How could a structure weighing more than tens of thousands of tons topple in moderate wind? What factor(s) did the engineers of the Bridge fail to include in their engineering analysis?

A6m cantilever 200x500 rectangular beam is carrying a unformly varying downward load of 0 kN/m at the free end to 184 kN/m at the fixed end. There Is an upward load of 312 kN at the free end. If the allowable flexural stress of the beam is 120 MPa and if the beam is to carry only a uniformly distributed load in kN/m. determine the safest uniform load that it can carry.

Design of reinforced concrete structure : A slab with no supports has a 3 m effective span. The slab has 10 mm Dia-120 mm c/c alternating bentup for reinforcement. 150 mm make up the slab's thickness. Determine the external factored load that the slab can support. Utilise M20 and Fe415.
2. Design a One way simply supported slab of 5.5 m effective span to carry a working live load of 5 kN/m2. Use M30 grade concrete and Fe500 grade steel. As an engineer, where a simply supported slab is suggested in a structure?
A 75x300mm wooden beam is not sufficient to carry the loads imposed upon it. It has a simple span of 7.2m. It is to be used by two men in removing concrete forms on the side of a reinforced concrete structure. Each man has a weight of 55 kg but one of them can carry 80 kg while the other can carry only 35 kg. The two men will at no time be closer than 1.2m while moving along the plank. Neglect the weight of the planks, it is desired to place another plank of equal length and width of the gangplank to be placed on top of the 75x300mm gang plank. Allowable bending stress = 9.68 MPa. Start the dimension of your material at 50 mm. Compute the following: a.) The size of the gangplank to be placed on top of the 75x300mm gangplank. b.) The flexural stress of the old gangplank after the placement of the new gangplank on top of it. c.) The flexural stress of the new gangplank placed on top of the 75x300mm gangplank.
