- Verify the adequacy of column AB, part of a sway frame structure, to carry the loads shown in the figure. The column is made of ASTM A992 steel (Fy = 50 ksi). Use ASD specifications. For determining its effective length factors, neglect inelastic effect.arrow_forwardAn aluminum tube of length 0.01R (m) is used as column (fixed at both ends) carrying an axial load of 1.333R (N). If the outer diameter of the tube is 0.06R (mm),compute the inner diameter that would provide a factor of safety of 2 against buckling. Use E = 70 GPa for aluminum. Note R=993arrow_forwardTo calculate the maximum axial loads for a column based on yielding and buckling about both axes, and allowing for factors of safety. The critical load P for buckling of a column depends on the vertical distance between supports and how the column is connected to those supports. The length L in the T'EI formula Per =- is the distance between points of zero moment. For a pin- L2 supported column, this is the full height of the column. For a column that is not pinned at both ends, the points of zero moment are not at the supports. The equation for the critical load can be modified to use an effective length Le = KL, where K depends on the support conditions. For a column fixed at both ends, K = 0.5. For a column fixed at one end and pinned at the other, K = 0.7 (Figure 1). The equation for the critical load then becomes ’EI Pa (KL)²arrow_forward

The internal diameter of the hollow column is half of its external diameter.arrow_forward3. Calculate the critical load of a strut which is made of a bar, circular in section and 5 m long and wheh is pin-jointed at both ends. The same bar when freely supports gives mid-span deflection of 15 mm with a load of 85 N at the center.arrow_forwardFigure 2 shows a horizontal beam AB. It is pin-supported at end A and carrying a load Q at end B. The beam is supported at C by a pinned-end column.
