Solve the following problems:

A timber wall is 75 mm wide, 75 mm deep and having a height of 4.0 m. is assumed to be hinged at top and bottom
(use k = 1.0). It is subjected to an axial load of 25 kN on the centroid. A uniformly distributed load is also acting along
the weaker axis of its entire height. The wall is made-up of Apitong wood and stress are shown in the table (use 80%
stress grade). To be safe, the actual stresses should not exceed the allowable stresses. Also, the wall must be
checked using the formula:

Members subjected to both flexure and axial compression shall be proportional such that

1. Determine the size factor adjustments.

2. Determine the slenderness factor adjustments.

3. Compute the allowable compressive stress

4. Compute the allowable bending stress.

5. Compute the allowable uniform load “W” it could carry

SOLUTIONS:

1. Size Factor adjustments 3. Allowable compressive stress.

A timber wall is 75 mm wide, 150 mm deep and having a height of 4.0 m. is assumed to be hinged at top and bottom
(use k = 1.0). It is subjected to uniformly distributed load of 325 N/m acting along the weaker axis of its entire height.
The wall is made-up of Apitong wood and stresses are shown in the table (use 80% stress grade). To be safe, the
actual stresses should not exceed the allowable stresses. Also, the wall must be checked using the formula:

Members subjected to both flexure and axial compression shall be proportional such that

1. Determine the size factor adjustments.

2. Determine the slenderness factor adjustments.

3. Compute the allowable compressive stress

4. Compute the allowable bending stress.
