Design a wide flange W column 8 m in height to support an axial dead load of 1000 kN and a live load of 1200kN in the interior of a building. The column base is rigidly fixed to the footing and the top of the column isrigidly framed to very stiff girders. Assume that bracing is provided to prevent side sway in the weak axis/planeof the column (you don’t have to consider slenderness in this direction), but side sway is not prevented aroundits strong axis. Select an economical W shape.

Home Work: 1. Steel rod 2.5m long is secured between tow walls. If the load on the rod is zero at 20°C, compute the stress when temperature drops to (-20°C). The cross-sectional area of the rod is 1200 mm a=11.7µ m/(m.'C) and E=200 GPa. Solve assuming (a) that the wall is rigid and (b) that the wall spring together a total distance of 0.500mm as the temperature drops. 2. The rigid bar ABC in Figure is pinned at B and attached to the two vertical rods. Initially, the bar is horizontal and the vertical rods are stress-free. Determine the stress in the aluminum rod if the temperature of the steel rod is decreased by 40°C. Neglect the weight of bar ABC. Figure P-268 Steel L=0.9 m A = 300 mm? E = 200 x 10° N/m2 a 11.7 um/(m C) Aluminum L= 1.2 m A = 1200 mm E = 70 x 10° N/m a = 23 um/(m C) B 0.6 m 1.2 m
A concentric helical spring is used to support a load of 90 KN. The inner spring has arate of 495.8 KN/m and outside spring is 126.5 KN/m. If initially the inner spring is 25mm shorter than the outer spring, find the percent load carried by the inner spring. The correct answer is 76.81%. I just need the solution for this answer, thank you!
A hollow circular shaft of inner radius 10 mm outer radius 20 mm and length 1 m is to be used as a torsional spring. If the shear modulus of the material of the shaft is 150 GPa, the torsional stiffness of the shaft (in kN-m/rad) is?
The pinned truss in Fig Q2 is subject to a vertical load of 120kN at Pin C. The strut members AB, BC and AC each have cross-sectional diameters of 50mm, 25mm and 25mm respectively. The struts are made from Steel having a Young's Modulus of 210GPA and yield strength of 350MPA. Calculate: a) the axial stress in each member b) the stability of the structure against buckling (stating which strut is likely to buckle) c) the diameter of the shear pin at A, given it is acting in double shear and should be based upon von Mises' shear strength criterion and a Safety factor of 1.5. 120 kN 300 mm А B 252 mm 150 mm
The following figure shows the critical position of a crane that supports 2.5 Tons of load by means of a chain. You are delegated the responsibility of building a crane with similar geometric characteristics and load capacity. The diagram of free body of the crane arm can be redrawn as follows. (check the attached image "fbd") 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.
