A single axle goods truck that is used to transport items from Durban to Johannesburg is designed to carry a maximum total load of 300 kN on the single axle. The axle rails are manufactured from steel, assuming it has a Young's modulus of 210 kN/m². The dimensions of the rail is 100 mm deep by 50 mm width. The rail is supported on an elastic foundation that has a spring constant of 20 N/mm². a) Determine the maximum deflection b) Determine the bending moment and the bending stress on the steel rails.

Question
A single axle goods truck that is used to transport items from Durban to Johannesburg is
designed to carry a maximum total load of 300 kN on the single axle. The axle rails are
manufactured from steel, assuming it has a Young's modulus of 210 kN/m2. The dimensions
of the rail is 100 mm deep by 50 mm width. The rail is supported on an elastic foundation that
has a spring constant of 20 N/mm².
a) Determine the maximum deflection
b) Determine the bending moment and the bending stress on the steel rails.
Maximum total
Load on Single Axle = 300KN
