Chapter 1

Apply gamma factors to these numbers:

γM ux ' = −508.5(0.3135) = −159.4kip − in

γM uy ' = −367.9(0.4932) = −181.4kip − in
Transform the forces back to the global axes:

γM ux = −159.4 cos(−0.3275) − 181.4 sin( −0.3275) = −92.57kip − in

γM uy = 159.4 sin( −0.3275) − 181.4 cos(−0.3275) = −223.03kip − in
Now we are ready to calculate the stresses for each side.

Same point as End 2 for the long side, resulting in an identical stress. Comparing the calculations to the resulting output, we
see that the results are correct. Please note that our calculated stresses are in ksi, while the graphically reported stresses are
in psi.
