The positive sign indicates that C moves to the right relative to B, since the bar
elongates.
The displacement of B with respect to the fixed end A is
Example 3: The three A992 steel bars shown in Fig. are pin connected
to a rigid member. If the applied load on the member is 15 kN,
determine the force developed in each bar. Bars AB and EF each have
a cross-sectional area of 50 mm2, and bar CD has a cross-sectional
area of 30 mm2.
Example 5: The rigid beam shown in Fig. is fixed to the top of the
three posts made of A992 steel and 2014-T6 aluminum. The posts
each have a length of 250 mm when no load is applied to the beam,
and the temperature is T1 = 20C. Determine the force supported by
each post if the bar is subjected to a uniform distributed load of 150
kN>m and the temperature is raised to T2 = 80C.
Example 8: The 1.5-m concrete post is reinforced with six steel bars,
each with a 28-mm diameter. Knowing that Es = 200 GPa and Ec = 25
GPa, determine the normal stresses in the steel and in the concrete
when a 1550-kN axial centric force P is applied to the post.
s = s
(Ps)/(200*10^9*.0037) = (Pc)/(25*10^9*0.1553)
3.88 Ps = 0.74 Pc
Ps + Pc = 1550 KN
Ps = 248.5 KN and Pc = 1301.5 KN
Example 9: The brass shell (αb = 11.6 x10^-6/F) is fully bonded to the
steel core (αs = 6.5 x10^-6/F). Determine the largest allowable
increase in temperature if the stress in the steel core is not to exceed 8
ksi.
