Chapter 10, Problem 66AP
A 250-m-long bridge is improperly designed so that it cannot expand with temperature. It is made of concrete with α = 12 × 10−6 (°C)−1. (a) Assuming the maximum change in temperature at the site is expected to be 20°C, find the change in length the span would undergo if it were free to expand. (b) Show that the stress on an object with Young’s modulus Y when raised by ΔT with its ends Firmly fixed is given by a αY ΔT. (c) If the maximum stress the bridge can withstand without crumbling is 2.0 × 107 Pa, will it crumble because of this temperature increase? Young’s modulus for concrete is about 2.0 × 1010 Pa.

A steel rod with a cross-sectional area of 0.20 in² is stretched between two
fixed points. The tensile load at 65°F is 1250 lb. What will be the stress at
0°F? At what temperature will the stress be zero? Assume a = 6.5×106 in /
(in-°F) and E = 29 × 10° psi.
On a day that the temperature is 6.0°C, a concrete walk is poured in such a way that the ends of the walk are unable to move. Take Young's modulus for concrete to be 7.00 × 109 N/m² and the
compressive strength to be 2.00 x 109 N/m². (The coefficient of linear expansion of concrete is 1.2 × 10-5 (°C-¹).)
