The upper deck of a football stadium is supported by braces, each of which transfers a load P=150 kips to the base of a column (see figure part a). A cap plate at the bottom of the brace distributes the load P to four flange plates (t=1 in.) through a pin (dp=2 in.) to two gusset plates (t = 1.5 in.) (see figure parts b and c). Determine the following quantities: (a) The average shear stress in the pin (b) The average bearing stress between the flange plates and the pin, and also between the gusset plates and the pin. Note: Disregard friction between the plates.

A long re Lai nine: wall is braced by wood shores set at an angle of 30° and supported by concrete thrust blocks, as shown in the first part of the figure. The shores are evenly spaced at 3 m apart. For analysis purposes, the wall and shores are idealized as shown in the second part of the figure. Note that the base of the wall and both ends of the shores are assumed to be pinned. The pressure of the soil against the wall is assumed to be triangularly distributed, and the resultant force acting on a 3-meter length of the walls is F = 190 kN. If each shore has a 150 mm X 150 mm square cross section, what is the compressive stress
