Basha &M. Mabsout 2 Problem I: (75 points) The circular steel tube shown in Figure I has the following properties and dimensions: • E = 200 x 106 kPa (kN/m2) : Modulus of elasticity • γ = 80 kN/m3 : Weight density (about 8 times water) • σy = 255,000 kPa : Yield strength in tension and compression • FS = 1.5 : Factor of safety • L1 = 1.2 m L2 = 0.8 m • D1 = 0.05 m D2 = 0.03 m D2 C P B A Figure I D2 D1 L1 L2 CIVE310 - Fall 2004-2005 Quiz 1 H. Basha &M. Mabsout 3 1. IGNORE OWN WEIGHT and let P = 120 kN Solve for the problem as follows: • Draw Axial Force, Stress, Strain, and Displacement Diagrams. (20 points) • Discuss safety (brief). (5 points) • Compute the stiffness of the system. (5 points) Calculations and/or Diagrams: CIVE310 - Fall 2004-2005 Quiz 1 H. Basha &M.

CONSIDERING OWN WEIGHT ONLY with P = 0, and referring to the original properties and dimensions as in question 1. • Compute the maximum stress and its location, and comment on safety. (15 points) • Compute the top displacement at C and the stiffness of the system. (15 points) Calculations and/or Diagrams: CIVE310 - Fall 2004-2005 Quiz 1 H. Basha &M.

Mabsout 9 Problem II: (25 points) Referring to the beam-bar system shown in Figure II, the concentrated downward vertical force P is a moving load, and can assume any position on the beam between A and D. Ignore the own weights of the beam and bar. Determine the positions of the load P and compute the corresponding force in Bar CE, for the following cases: • Maximum Tension in Bar CE. • Maximum Compression in Bar CE. • Force in Bar CE is equal to P in tension. Note: You should compute one position and corresponding force for each of the cases above.
