Chapter 13 Problem 13-22

Question

The deck is supported by the two 40-mm-square columns. Column AB is pinned at A and fixed at B, whereas CD is pinned at C and D. If the deck is prevented from sidesway, determine the greatest weight of the load that can be applied without causing the deck to collapse. The center of gravity of the load is located at d = 2 m. Both columns are made from Douglas Fir.

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 13 problem number 22 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The deck is supported by the two 40-mm-square columns. Column AB is pinned at A and fixed at B, whereas CD is pinned at C and D. If the deck is prevented from sidesway, determine the greatest weight of the load that can be applied without causing the deck to collapse. The center of gravity of the load is located at d = 2 m. Both columns are made from Douglas Fir.
From the textbook chapter Buckling of Columns you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
