Assignement 3

1. The document contains 18 fundamental problems involving the design of simple structural connections. Problems F1-13 through F1-18 ask the reader to calculate stresses, diameters, forces or other values related to rods, nails, pins and other connectors given stress limits and applied loads. 2. Example calculations are provided for a rod connection, nail connection, glued strut connection and pinned frame connection. Readers are asked to determine values like minimum rod diameter, maximum allowable force, average shear stresses and maximum stresses. 3. The problems cover a range of connection types including rods, nails, glued joints, pins and bolts, testing the reader's ability to calculate stresses and capacities for basic structural elements.
