Problem I: (70 points)
The free-standing circular solid column monument with diameters of 0.40 m and 0.20 m as
shown in Figure I-a is loaded with P= 1,000 kN and has the following properties:
• E = 20 x 106 kPa (kN/m2)
: Modulus of elasticity
• γ = 20 kN/m3
: Weight density (about 2 times water)
• σy = 20,000 kPa
: Yield strength in tension and compression
• FS = 2.0
: Factor of safety
1. 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. (5 points)

2. 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)

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)

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
