The stress-strain curve for structural steel has a _______ trend up to the proportional limit.

A 1/2 in. x 5 in. plate must resist a service dead load of 33 kips and a service live load of 37 kips in tension. The plate is connected to a gusset with three 7/8 in. bolts. Standard sizing is used for the bolt holes. The steel is ASTM A36: Fy = 36 ksi, Fu = 58 ksi. Assume that Ae = An. Using ASD, does the plate have enough strength?

What is today?

The fundamental requirement of structural design is that the required strength exceed the available strength.

A column is loaded in compression as follows. Using ASD, determine the required nominal strength for a safety factor Ω = 1.40.Dead load: 18 kipsFloor live load: 6 kipsRoof rain load: 4 kipsRoof live load: 6 kips

A tensile test was performed on a specimen with a circular cross section. The diameter was measured to be 0.870 inch. Two marks were made along the length of the specimen and were measured to be 2.900 inches apart. This distance is defined as the gage length, and all length measurements were made between the two marks. The specimen was loaded to failure. Fracture occurred at a load of 23,000 pounds. The specimen was then reassembled, and the diameter and gage length were measured to be 0.380 inch and 3.232 inches. Determine the ultimate tensile stress.

Match the equation ΣγiQi ≤ φRn to the correct design philosophy.
