Chapter 8.2, Problem 8.52P
The elevation of the end of the steel beam supported by a concrete floor is adjusted by means of the steel wedges E and F. The base plate CD has been welded to the lower flange of the beam, and the end reaction of the beam is known to be 18 kips. The coefficient of static friction is 0.30 between two steel surfaces and 0.60 between steel and concrete. If horizontal motion of the beam is prevented by the force Q, determine (a) the force P required to raise the beam, (b) the corresponding force Q.
