IGNORE OWN WEIGHT and solve for the problem as follows: • Reaction, Force, Stress, Strain, and Displacement Diagrams. (25 points) • Discuss safety. (5 points) • Compute the stiffness of the system.

AGAIN IGNORING THE OWN WEIGHT, and referring to Figure I-b, what is the force F in each cable which will be required to ensure that the top displacement due to P in question 1 is reduced to zero. (15 points) Deduce the top reaction in the system in Figure I-c, and solve as in question 1 (Reactions, Force, Stress, Strain, and Displacement Diagrams, check safety, and compare safety with question 1). (10 points) Calculations and/or Diagrams: CIVE310 - Fall 2003-2004 Quiz 1 Mounir Mabsout Calculations and/or Diagrams (cont’d): CIVE310 - Fall 2003-2004 Quiz 1 Mounir Mabsout 3. Referring to Figure I-a, show that the own weight is negligible by calculating a displacement value, using a very simple model which approximates the real model (look for a range, and not for an exact value). DARE TO APPROXIMATE AND THIS COULD BE A 3 MN QUESTION. (10 points + up to 5 bonus points to the most daring which make sense) Calculations and/or Diagrams: CIVE310 - Fall 2003-2004 Quiz 1 Mounir Mabsout Problem II: (30 points) Design (find cross-section and length) the thin tubular steel shaft shown in Figure II, given the following loading, properties and constraints: • This should be a thin tube with t/D< 1/20, and Area = ππππDt • Ignore own weight • P = 1,000 kN • E = 200 x 106 kPa (kN/m2) : Modulus of elasticity • σallowable = 100,000 kPa : Allowable strength in tension • Elongation limited to 1 mm Calculations and/or Diagrams: Figure II P L D t Cross-Section CIVE310 - Fall 2003-2004 Quiz 1 Mounir Mabsout Calculations and/or Diagrams (cont’d): CIVE310 - Fall 2003-2004 Quiz 1 Mounir Mabsout EXTRA SHEET: Continued from page _______ Name: ID#: Calculations and/or Diagrams:
