Direct Method
1. A concrete table column-support with the profile shown in the figure below is to
carry a load 2224N. Using the direct method, determine the displacement and
the average normal stresses along the column. Divide the column into five
elements. (E = 29.16kN/mm2).
2224N
Dimensions in mm
2. Determine the support reaction forces at the two ends of the bar shown in figure
below, given the following, P = 6.0 × 104 N, E = 2.0 × 104 N/mm2, A = 250 mm2,
L = 150 mm, ∆ = 1.2mm.
