Problem One. Steel Beam: Design lightest and most economical girder that carries two equal concentrated loads that are equally spaced on a beam that is 18”0” long with pinned ends. The individual load is 8,000 pounds. The material is hot rolled structural steel per ASTM A-36. Design factor of safety is 1.5 and the maximum deflection over the total span is the span in inches divided by 360. Use may use either wide flange or I beam for your beam. Develop the load, shear, moment, and deflection diagrams with labels. The cost per pound for hot rolled structural steel is $1.15 per pound. Create a table of results and designate the best design.

Problem Two. Wood Beam: Using Southern Pine (S4S) simple supported joists, what is the Live Load (LL) and the Dead Load (DL) (which is 14% of the total load) that a two 2x12 can safely carry if the joist spacing is 16 inches and the span is 14”0”. Show your work and justify your answers.

A 35 ft simply supported beam is loaded with concentrated loads 15 ft in from each...

A 35 ft simply supported beam is loaded with concentrated loads 15 ft in from each support. On one end, the dead load is 8.0 kips and the live load is 18.0 kips. At the other end, the dead load is 4.0 kips and the live load is 9.0 kips. Include the self-weight of the beam in the design. Lateral supports are provided at the supports and the load points. Determine the least-weight W-shape to carry the load. Use A992...

Determine the most economical size of a 3-phase line which supplies the following loads at 10 kV : (i) 100 kW at 0·8 p.f. (lag) for 10 hours (ii) 500 kW at 0·9 p.f. (lag) for 8 hours (iii) 100 kW at unity p.f. for 6 hours. The above gives the daily load cycle. The cost per km of the completely erected line is Rs (8000 a + 1500) where a is the area of cross-section of each conductor. The...

Design a rectangular reinforced concrete beam for a simple span of 32 ft. Uniform service loads are 1.5 kips/ft dead load and 2.0 kips/ft live load. Assuming that the total depth h is not to exceed 32 in. and that there is no limitation on the width b. Use f′c = 3000 psi and fy = 60,000 psi. Sketch your design

A cantilever of circular solid cross section is fixed at one end and carries a concentrated...

A cantilever of circular solid cross section is fixed at one end and carries a concentrated load P at the free end. The diameter at the free end is 200mm and increases uniformly to 400 mm at the fixed end over a length of 2m. At what distance from the free will the bending stresses in the cantilever be maximum? Also calculate the value of the maximum bending stress if the concentrated load P=300 KN (a) 1.23 m, 12.32 MPa...
