Assuming that the front and rear axle loads remain in the same ratio as for the truck of Prob. 5.96, determine how much heavier a truck could safely cross the bridge designed in that problem.
5.96 A bridge of length L = 48 ft is to be built on a secondary road whose access to trucks is limited to two-axle vehicles of medium weight. It will consist of a concrete slab and of simply supported steel beams with an ultimate strength σU = 60 ksi. The combined weight of the slab and beams can be approximated by a uniformly distributed load w = 0.75 kips/ft on each beam. For the purpose of the design, it is assumed that a truck with axles located at a distance a = 14 ft from each other will be driven across the bridge and that the resulting concentrated loads P1 and P2 exerted on each beam could be as large as 24 kips and 6 kips, respectively. Determine the most economical wide-flange shape for the beams, using LRFD with the load factors γD = 1.25, γL = 1.75 and the resistance factor ϕ = 0.9. [Hint: It can be shown that the maximum value of |ML| occurs under the larger load when that load is located to the left of the center of the beam at a distance equal to aP2/2(P1 + P2).]

A child swing set was discovered to have failed at the fixing at the top of the chains connecting the seat to the top of the swing set. A 12 mm threaded steel bolt, connecting the shackle to the top beam, failed at the start of the threaded region on the linkage closest to the outside side of the swing set . The linkage and bolts were made of electro galvanised mild steel . The rigid bar chain alternatives and fixings were of the same material and appeared to be fitted in accordance with guidelines. The yield strength of the steel used is 260 MPa and the UTS is 380 MPa. The bolt that failed was threaded using a standard thread with a pitch (distance between threads) of 1.75 mm and a depth of approximately 1.1 mm.
