In the steel structure shown, a 6-mm-diameter pin is used
Chapter 1, Problem 1.66(choose chapter or problem)
In the steel structure shown, a 6-mm-diameter pin is used at C and 10-mm-diameter pins are used at B and D. The ultimate shearing stress is 150 MPa at all connections, and the ultimate normal stress is 400 MPa in link BD. Knowing that a factor of safety of 3.0 is desired, determine the largest load P that can be applied at A. Note that link BD is not reinforced around the pin holes.

QUESTION:
In the steel structure shown, a 6-mm-diameter pin is used at C and 10-mm-diameter pins are used at B and D. The ultimate shearing stress is 150 MPa at all connections, and the ultimate normal stress is 400 MPa in link BD. Knowing that a factor of safety of 3.0 is desired, determine the largest load P that can be applied at A. Note that link BD is not reinforced around the pin holes.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 14
First we need to calculate force in member BD and in pin C.
First, we’ll isolate and draw the free-body diagram of the beam with force P, tension from member BD and reaction forces at C acting on it.
