SITUATION 2: 16. The lap joint shown in Figure is fastened by four rivets of 3/4-
For the cantilever beam shown in the figure, find (a) the in. diameter. Find the maximum load P that can be applied if the
maximum bending working stresses are 14 ksi for shear in the rivet and 18 ksi for
stress and its bearing in the plate. Assume that the applied load is distributed
location; and (b) evenly among the four rivets, and neglect friction between the
the bending stress plates.
at a point 20 mm
from the top of the
beam on section B.
SITUATION 3:
Three wheel loads roll as a unit across a 16m span. The laods
are A = 20kN, B = 40kN, 2m to the right of A ; and C = 60kN, 4m
to the right of B. 17. The steel propeller shaft ABCD carries the axial loads shown
5. Determine the maximum moment in the simply supported in Figure. Determine the change in the length of the shaft caused
beam. by these loads. Use E = 29 x 106 psi for steel.
6. Determine the maximum shear in the simply supported
beam.
SITUATION 4
Three rods of different materials are connected and placed
between rigid supports at A and D. Properties for each of the
three rods are given below. The bars are initially unstressed
when the structure is assembled at 20°C. After the temperature
has been increased to 100°C, determine:
