A sign of weight W is supported at its base by four bolls anchored in a concrete footing. Wind pressure P acts normal to the surface of the sign; the resultant of the uniform wind pressure is force fat the center of pressure (C.P). The wind force is assumed to create equal shear forces F/4 in the y direction at each boll (see figure parts a and c). The overturning effect of the wind force also causes an uplift force R at bolts A and C and a downward force (— R) al bolts B and D (see figure part b). The resulting effects of the wind and the associated ultimate stresses for each stress condition are normal stress in each boll (h — 60 ksi); shear through the base plate (th = 17 ksi); horizontal shear and bearing on each bolt ( tfur = 25 ksi and cr^ = 75 ksi): and bearing on the bottom washer at B (or D) (abor = 50 ksi).

A sign is supported by a pipe (see figure) having an outer diameter 110 mm and inner diameter 90 mm. The dimensions of the sign are 2.0 m X 1.0 m, and its lower edge is 3.0 m above the base. Note that the center of gravity of the sign is 1.05 m from the axis of the pipe. The wind pressure against the sign is 1.5 kPa. Determine the maximum in-plane shear stresses due to the wind pressure on the sign at points /I, B, and C, located on the outer surface at the base of the pipe.
An aluminum pole for a street light weighs 4600 N and supports an arm that weighs 660 N (see figure). The center of gravity of the arm is 1.2 m from the axis of the pole, A wind force of 300 N also acts in the (y) direction at 9 m above the base. The outside diameter of the pole (at its base) is 225 mm, and its thickness is 18 mm. Determine the maximum tensile and compressive stresses o, and e1., respectively, in the pole (at its base) due to the weights and the wind force.
Cable DB supports canopy beam OABC as shown in the figure. Find the required cross-sectional area of cable BD if the allowable normal stress is 125 MPa. Determine the required diameter of the pins at 0, B, and D if the allowable stress in shear is 80 MPa. Assume that canopy beam weight is w = 8 kN. note The pins at 0, A, D and D are in double shear.

A large precast concrete panel for a warehouse is raised using two sets of cables at two lift lines, as shown in the figure part a. Cable 1 has a length L1 = 22 Ft, cable 2 has a length L2= 10 ft, and the distance along the panel between lift points Band D is d = 14 ft (see figure part b). The total weight of the panel is W = 85 kips. Assuming the cable lift Forces F at each lift line are about equal, use the simplified model of one half of the panel in figure part b to perform your analysis for the lift position shown. Find the required cross-sectional area AC of the cable if its breaking stress is 91 ksi and a factor of safety of 4 with respect to failure is desired.
A beam of rectangular cross section (width/) and height supports a uniformly distributed load along its entire length L. The allowable stresses in bending and shear are and TaUow, respectively. If the beam is simply supported, what is the span length Lübelow which the shear stress governs the allowable load and above which the bending stress governs? If the beam is supported as a cantilever, what is the length L() below which the shear stress governs the allowable load and above which the bending stress governs?
A palm tree weighing 1000 lb is inclined at an angle of 60º (see figure). The weight of the tree may be resolved into two resultant forces: a force P1= 900 lb acting at a point 12 ft from the base and a force P2= 100 lb acting at the top of the tree, which is 30 ft long. The diameter at the base of the tree is 14 in. Calculate the maximum tensile and compressive stresses et, and ec, respectively, at the base of the tree due to its weight.
