Chapter 17, Problem 26P
(II) (a) A horizontal steel 1-beam of cross-sectional area 0.041 m2 is rigidly connected to two vertical steel girders. If the beam was installed when the temperature was 25°C, what stress is developed in the beam when the temperature drops to −25°C? (b) Is the ultimate strength of the steel exceeded? (c) What stress is developed if the beam is concrete and has a cross-sectional area of 0.13 m2? Will it fracture?

sectional area A=300x10-6 m², has been cured in an autoclave at 180 °C. The

exists between the ends of the rods shown.
At a later time when the temperature has
reached 140OC, determine (a) the normal
stress in the aluminum rod, (b) the change in
length of the aluminum rod. (c) If the
temperature is allowed to go up continuously,
which rod would fail first? At what
