Chapter 16.2, Problem 40P

A glue-laminated column of 3-m effective length is to be made from boards of 24 × 100-mm cross section. Knowing that for the grade of wood used, E = 11 GPa and the adjusted allowable stress for compression parallel to the grain is σ C = 9 MPa, determine the number of boards that must be used to support the centric load when ( a )   P = 34 kN,  ( b ) P = 17 kN .

A rectangular column with a 4.4-m effective length is made of glued laminated wood. Knowing that for the grade of wood used the adjusted allowable stress for compression parallel to the grain is σC=8.3 MPa and the adjusted modulus E= 4.6 GPa, determine the maxi-mum allowable centric load for the column.
A sawn lumber column with a 7.5* 5.5-in. cross section has an 18-ft effective length. Knowing that for the grade of wood used the adjusted allowable stress for compression parallel to the grain isσC= 1200 psi and that the adjusted modulus E= 470 *103 psi, determine the maximum allowable centric load for the column.
A timber block 250 mm square is reinforced on each side by a steel plate 250 mm wide and t mm thick. Determine the thickness t so that the assembly will support an axial load of 1200 kN without exceeding a maximum timber stress of 8 Mpa or a maximum steel stress of 140 Mpa. For timber, E = 10 x 103 Mpa; for steel, E = 200 x 103 Mpa.
