The two members shown are all pinned jointed made of wood having square cross sections of dimensions a x a. Determine the smallest value of a that will provide a factor of safety of 2.5 against buckling. Use E=12GPA for wood and assume the joint B is braced so that it can only move in the plane of structure.

A long, slender structural aluminum [E = 69 GPa] flanged shape is used as al = 9.2-m-long column. The column is supported in the x direction at base A and pinned at ends A and C against translation in the y and z directions. Lateral support is provided to the column so that deflection in the x-z plane is restrained at mid-height B; however, the column is free to deflect in the x-y plane at B. Assume that b; = 102 mm, d = 122 mm, t; = 8 mm, and tw = 6 mm. Determine the maximum compressive load P the column can support if a factor of safety of 2.9 is required. In your analysis, consider the possibility that buckling could occur about either the strong axis (i.e., the z axis) or the weak axis (i.e., the y axis) of the aluminum column.

Two plates of which (2.5 d) and d as outer and inner diameter respectively and thickness 25 mm each are held together by means of a bolt. The bolt material S-400 N/mm² and E210000 N/mm² while plate material E= 72000 N/mm². The initial preload in the bold is 6.0 KN and force on the joint is 12 kN. Find out size of bolt assuming factor of safety 2.0.
5. Determine the greatest load P the frame will support without causing the A-36 steel member BC to buckle. Due to the forked ends on the member, consider the supports at B and C to act as pins for x-x axis buckling and as fixed supports for y-y axis buckling.

Compute the internal diameter of the 10 m length hollow cast iron column. If the externaldiameter is two times the internal diameter and the safe compressive load on a hollowcast iron column with one end rigidly fixed and other end hinged is 60 kN.

The bolt AB in (Figure 1) has a diameter of 18 mm and passes through a sleeve that has an inner diameter of 42 mm and an outer diameter of 52 mm. The bolt and sleeve are made of A-36 steel and are secured to the rigid brackets as shown. If the bolt length is 220 mm and the sleeve length is 200 mm, determine the tension in the bolt when a force of 50 kN is applied to the brackets.
