QUESTION 4
Tv
A 356 x 171 x 50,7 kg/m l-section (parallel flange) is used as a column to support
120 kN. If the column is fixed at both ends and 7 m long, what factor of safety is
involved using:
4.2 The Rankine-Gordon formula, in which the yield stress is 250 MPa and

QUESTION 5
A steel pipe is used to convey oil and must be supported in such a way that the
maximum stress in the pipe material is not exceeded. The weight of the pipe is
2,306 kN/m and the weight of the oil is 1,304 kN/m. The inside diameter of the pipe is
470 mm and the wall thickness is 20 mm.
Calculate the maximum allowable distance between the supports if the maximum
allowable bending stress in the pipe material is 60 MPa. [11]

QUESTION 6
A solid steel cylinder is enclosed by a hollow copper cylinder, both cylinders are
250 mm long at 20 °C. The cross sectional area of steel is 30 cm2 and that of copper
o.
is 80 cm2. A compressive load of 160 kN is applied to the column by means of rigid
cover plates.
.c
Calculate at what temperature the steel will carry the full load.
