Pipe (2) is supported by a pin at bracket C and by tie
rod (1). The structure supports a load P at pin
B. Tie rod (1) has a diameter of 10 mm and an allowable
normal stress of 110 MPa. Pipe (2) has an outside diameter of 54
mm, a wall thickness of 6 mm, and an allowable normal stress of 165
MPa. Assume x1 = 3.6 m, x2
= 1.2 m, and y1 = 3.5 m. Determine the maximum
load Pmax that can be supported by the
structure without exceeding either allowable normal stress.

In regards to the mix design of concrete, respond to each of the following by showing detailed calculations. Use the tables and figures below.
1. If the concrete characteristic strength = 40 MPa, with 2.5% defective test results, what will be the target mean strength?
2. If the target mean strength of concrete = 30 MPa at 28 days, the coarse aggregate is uncrushed, using GP (General Purpose) cement, what is the water cement ratio W/C?
3. If the concrete slump = 8 mm, the maximum aggregate size = 10 mm, assume using crushed gravel and uncrushed sand, what is the value of the free water?
4. If aggregate specific gravity = 2.7, free water content = 180 kg/m3, cement content = 300 kg/m3, W/C = 0.6, % passing 600 μm sieve = 0.6, slump = 20 mm, maximum aggregate size = 10 mm, what is the content of fine aggregate?
5. If cement content = 300 kg/m3, water content = 180 kg/m3, gravel content = 1100 kg/m3, sand content = 750 kg/m3, how are the mix proportions represented by ratio?

QUESTION 1 (30%). Concrete is required for a reinforced concrete building. The 28-day target mean (cube) compressive strength should be 40 N/mm2. Use the BRE method to determine the concrete mix proportions for 0.05 m3 concrete (BRE tables and figures are attached below for each stage). (30%) The properties of materials and site conditions are as follows: - Cement strength class: 42.5 - Slump required: 50 mm - Coarse aggregate: crushed 20 mm (use 1:2 proportions for 10 mm and 20 mm combination); Fine aggregate: uncrushed (40% passes 600 micron sieve) - Minimum allowable cement content: 300 kg/m3; Maximum allowable cement content: 450 kg/m3 - Maximum allowable free w/c ratio: 0.55 - Relative density of aggregates (SSD): 2.65 - Free Moisture content for Coarse Aggregate: +1.0% - Free moisture content for Fine Aggregate: +1.0%
