QUESTION 1

A steel column ( L = 3000 mm) loaded eccentrically by a point load 50 kN as shown in Figure 1 is fixed at its base and free at the top. The column has a T-section and is made of steel which has a Young’s modulus of 200 GPa. Determine the maximum tensile and compressive stresses in the column.

(25 marks) The following equation (usual notations apply) may be used without derivation:

The secant formula for a pinned-pinned column is given by:

QUESTION 2

A beam made of an elastic-perfectly plastic material has a tensile and compressive yield stress of 250 MPa. It has a cross-section as shown in Figure 2.

Determine:

(a) the bending moment about the z-axis required to cause first yield in the beam, and (10 marks) (b) the bending moment required to cause the beam to be fully plastic and also the shape

factor of the beam.

QUESTION 3

The doubly-bent rod abc of circular cross-section in Figure 3 is fixed perpendicularly to a wall at a and loaded by a force P at c. The wall is normal to the x-axis and the force acts in the yz-plane.

Determine the displacement of c in the x, y and z directions (i.e. ux, uy and uz).

Consider strain energy due to bending and torsion only. Use E and G for the Young’s and shear moduli, and I and J for the second moment of area and polar moment of area, respectively. (25 marks) Figure 3  P y z x a b c L L

QUESTION 4

Figures 4a and 4b show a truss system comprising 4 truss members of cross-sectional area A and Young’s modulus E.

(a) In Figure 4a, a load P is applied vertically downwards at d. Determine the stiffness matrix [K] in [K][u]=[f], if
