Concept explainers
A tension member in a roof truss is composed of two ASTM A36 structural steel angles that together have a net cross-sectional area of 8.62 in2.
a. Compute the allowable total load if the allowable tensile stress is 22,000 psi.
b. If the total tensile load in the member is 150,000 lb, compute the actual tensile stress.

- A mild steel tie-rod has to carry an axial load of 60KN. The maximum permissible stress is 200N/mm2. Calculate a suitable diameter for the rod.arrow_forward1. You are to design an axially loaded member that is to carry a load of 5,000 lb. The member is to be made of ASTM A36 steel and have a total length of 24 in. Due to the design requirements the maximum allowable elongation of this member under the stated load is 0.025 in. Find the smallest allowable diameter of the member. a. Given: PL where ô is member elongation, P is axial load, L is initial member length, E is the material's Modulus of Elasticity, EA and A is the member's cross section area E136 = 29*10° psi (Beer, 746)arrow_forward3. Calculate the bearing stress and shear stress between the pin and each bracket of a clevis joint. Assume pin diameter of 10 mm, 40 mm wide gap link, 12 mm thick bracket, and 3550N tensile load. Draw a free body diagram (geometry & forces) Identify stress plane Calculate stress and write it (with appropriate units) in the outlined boxarrow_forward
- 2. A steel strut, 40 mm diameter, is turned down to 20 mm diameter for one-half its length. Calculate the ratio of the extensions in the two parts due to axial loading.arrow_forwardA small seat angle is used to support a beam with a reaction of 6,000 lbs. Two 1/2 inchdiameter bolts are used to resist the load. Compute the stress in each bolt. I'm having a hard time with this problem can you help?arrow_forwardA bin weighing 15 kips is supported by 3 steel tension rods. Each rod has a diameter of 1 in. Assume that the rods support equal loads. Calculate the stress in each rod (lb/in2).arrow_forward
