Problem 1

A column 3m high has a solid circular cross section and carries an axial load
of 10000KN. Direct stress in the column is limited to 150MPa. Poissons ratio
is 0.30 and modulus of elasticity is 200GPa.
1. Determine the minimum allowable diameter of the column.
2. Determine the shortening of the column.
3. Determine the increase in its diameter.

Problem 2
A concrete column of height 5m has a square cross section of side 300mm. It
is designed to support an axial load of 200KN. At mid-height, a recess is out
in one face of the column to receive a floor beam. The cut is 300mm vertical
and 75mm deep. E = 15000MPa.
1. Determine the stress of the column before the recess is cut.
2. Determine the strain energy of the column produced by the axial
load before the recess is cut out.
3. Determine the strain energy of the column after the recess is cut.
Solution:
1. S = P/A
S = 200000/300(300)
S = 2.22MPa
2.

U = P2L/2AE
U = 2000002(5000)/2(300)(300)(15000)
U = 74.07N-m

3.

U = P2L1/2AE + P2L2/2AE
U = 2000002(4700)/2(300)(300)(15000) +
2000002(300)/2(300)(225)(15000)
U = 75.55N-m

2.
S1 = P1/A1 = 35000/160 = 218.75MPa

YT = 35000(800)/160(70000) + 20000(1000)/160(70000)
10000(600)/160(70000) = 3.75mm (elongation)

Determine the axial stress of bar B1.
Determine the total deformation of the bars B1,B2 and B3.

Determine the ratio of the lengths b/a so that each material will be
stressed to its maximum permissible limit.

compound shaft.

Solution:
1.
(TL/JG)B = (TL/JG)S
S = Td/2J
T = 2SJ/d
(2SJL/dJG)B = (2SJL/dJG)S
(SL/dG)B = (SL/dG)S
60(a)/75(35) = 80(b)/50(83)
b/a = 1.186

S = 16T/d3
60 = 16TB(1000)2/(75)3
TB = 4.97KN-m

TS = 1.96KN-m
T = TS + TB
T = 6.93KN-m

Problem 5

entire span and a clockwise moment of 100KN-m at the right end of the beam.
Length of the beam is equal to 20m.

a distance of 9m from the left support of the beam.

R1(20) + 100 = w(20)(10)
9w(20) + 100 = 200w
