Chapter 1.5, Problem 58P
The Load and Resistance Factor Design method is to be used to select the two cables that will raise and lower a platform supporting two window washers. The platform weighs 160 lb and each of the window washers is assumed to weigh 195 lb with equipment. Since these workers are free to move on the platform, 75% of their total weight and the weight of their equipment will be used as the design live load of each cable. (a) Assuming a resistance factor ϕ = 0.85 and load factors γD = 1.2 and γL = 1.5, determine the required minimum ultimate load of one cable. (b) What is the corresponding conventional factor of safety for the selected cables?

Assuming that the crane arm will be made of steel with yield stress sigmaY =220 MPa and that you must consider a safety factor of F.S.=1.5, propose a profile from the following catalog for the manufacture of the crane arm. Ignore the effects of shear forces on this element. On the other hand, it is very important that you consider the effects of axial loads.
Commercial profiles for arm construction.

A load is supported by four 304 stainless steel wires that are connected to the rigid member’s AB and DC. The members were originally horizontal, and each wire has a cross-sectional area of 0.025 in2. When a 500 lb load is applied, the angle of telt is 0.0296° and 0.003405° for the AB and DC members respectively. If the load is reduced to 450 lb but the angles of telt are maintain, what is the temperature change?

- A steel cable with a diameter of 3.0cm supports a load of 2.0 kN. What is the frictional length increase of the cable compared with the length when there is no load if Y= 200 GPa?arrow_forwardTo calculate the maximum axial loads for a column based on yielding and buckling about both axes, and allowing for factors of safety. The critical load P for buckling of a column depends on the vertical distance between supports and how the column is connected to those supports. The length L in the T'EI formula Per =- is the distance between points of zero moment. For a pin- L2 supported column, this is the full height of the column. For a column that is not pinned at both ends, the points of zero moment are not at the supports. The equation for the critical load can be modified to use an effective length Le = KL, where K depends on the support conditions. For a column fixed at both ends, K = 0.5. For a column fixed at one end and pinned at the other, K = 0.7 (Figure 1). The equation for the critical load then becomes ’EI Pa (KL)²arrow_forwardFigure 5.5 t - 16.0 411 A If the tension developed in cables AB and AC cannot exceed 460 lb, determine the largest weight of the crate that can be supported.
