    The document outlines 7 practice problems related to allowable stress design for various structural elements. Problem 1 involves determining the maximum axial force on a thrust bearing before shear stresses exceed allowable values. Problem 2 involves sizing the thickness of a steel pipe supporting a load and ensuring safety factors against failure. Problem 3 involves determining the greatest load an oak post supported on a pine block can handle before exceeding allowable bearing stresses.

    PROBLEM SET 2 (ALLOWABLE STRESS)

    DEADLINE (MARCH 28,2023)


    1. The thrust bearing consists of a circular collar A fixed to the shaft B. Determine the maximum
    axial force P that can be applied to the shaft so that it does not cause the shear stress along a
    cylindrical surface a or b to exceed an allowable shear stress of Ʈallow = 17MPa.

    2. The steel pipe is supported on the circular base plate and concrete pedestal. If the normal
    failure stress for the steel is σ fail st = 350 MPa, determine the minimum thickness t of the pipe
    if it supports the force of 500 kN. Use a factor of safety against failure of 1.5. Also, find the
    minimum radius r of the base plate so that the minimum factor of safety against failure of the
    concrete due to bearing is 2.5. The failure bearing stress for concrete is (σfail) con = 25 MPa.

    3. The oak post is supported on the pine block. If the allowable bearing stresses for these materials
    are σoak= 43 MPa σpine = 25 MPa , determine the greatest load P that can be supported.
    4. The frame is subjected to the load of 4 kN which acts on member ABD at D. Determine the
    required diameter of the pins at D and C if the allowable shear stress for the material is Ʈallow =
    40 MPa. Pin C is subjected to double shear, whereas pin D is subjected to single shear.

    5. The two aluminum rods support the vertical force of P = 20 kN. Determine their required
    diameters if the allowable tensile stress for the aluminum is σallow = 150 MPa.

    6. If the allowable bearing stress for the material under the supports at A and B is σballow = 1.5
    MPa. Determine the size of square bearing plates and required to support the load. Dimension
    the plates to the nearest mm. The reactions at the supports are vertical. Take P = 100 kN.
    7. To the nearest 1/16 in., determine the required thickness of member BC and the diameter of
    the pins at A and B if the allowable normal stress for member BC is σallow = 29 ksi and the
    allowable shear stress for the pins is Ʈallow = 10 ksi.
