QUESTION 1

a) Briefly explain the concept of normal stress in mechanics of deformable bodies.


Support your answer with a suitable diagram and an appropriate formula.

(4 marks)

b) A beam is subjected to the uniform distributed load shown in Figure Q1(b). Given the
factor of safety is 2.0;

i) Draw the free body diagram and determine the support reaction.
ii) The pin at A is double shear and has an ultimate shearing stress of 25 MPa. Find
the diameter of the pin A.

(16 marks)
QUESTION 2

a) State two assumptions related to the usage of Hooke’s Law in the development of the
displacement equation, i.e.,  = PL/EA, for an axially loaded member.

(4 marks)

b) A 3-meter column shown in Figure Q2(b) is made of high strength concrete and
reinforced with six steel rods having the same diameter of 20 mm. If this structure is
subjected to P=700kN, calculate the average normal stress developed in the concrete
and in each rod. Given that Esteel=200 GPa and Econcrete=29 GPa.
