Problem 3
The section of a ‘T’-beam has a web and a flange of
8mm thickness. The vertical web is 100mm high, and
the horizontal flange is 80mm wide and fixed to the top
of the web. The beam is 2m long and cantilevered to
carry a concentrated load of 2kN situated at 1.8m from
the built-in support. Determine the second moment of
area of the beam section and find the maximum
bending stress in the beam.

Problem 4
A short hollow pillar of an outer diameter 380mm
and an inner diameter 280mm carries an eccentric
axial load of 75kN at 30mm from its centre.
Determine the maximum and minimum stresses
developed in the pillar. Find the maximum possible
value of the eccentricity for the stress to remain
compressive over the entire section of the pillar.
Problem 5
An unstayed mast (or a freestanding mast) of
a sailing dinghy consists of a hollow circular
section of outside diameter 80 mm and
inside diameter 70 mm. The wind loading on
the sail causes a bending moment of 2 kNm
at the base of the mast. Calculate the
maximum bending stress at the mast base.
Problem 6
A Sampson post of height 50m fitted on an oil tanker
has an outside diameter of 350mm and an inside
diameter of 300mm. It is subjected to a compressive
force of 35kN that is inclined at 15o from the vertical
and applied at the outer edge of the post at its very
top. Determine the bending moment and the
maximum stress developed in the post.
Problem 7
An open-link chain is manufactured by bending low-
carbon steel rods of 12mm diameter into the shape
shown in Fig. Q7. If the chain carries a load of 800N,
determine the largest tensile and compressive
stresses in the straight portion of a link. Calculate the
distance between the centroidal and neutral axis of a
cross section.

Problem 8
The two forces shown in Fig. Q8 are applied to a rigid
plate supported by a vertical steel pipe of 160mm
outer diameter and 130mm inner diameter. If the
allowable compressive stress of steel is 75MN/m2,
determine the range of the allowable values of load

Problem 9
A steel tie bar of a rectangular cross-section (20 mm wide and 60
mm deep) is subjected to an axial load of 60 kN as shown in Figure
Q9. It is required to remove an axial portion of the tie bar from a
narrow side of the section of the bar as shown. Determine the
maximum depth of steel d that can be safely removed from one of
the narrow sides such that the maximum stress over the remaining
section of the bar is not exceeding 90 MN/m2.
