Depending on which of Exercises 7 through 12 you have completed, determine the overall factor of safety

Question:

Depending on which of Exercises 7 through 12 you have completed, determine the overall factor of safety of one or more of the following structures. Assume steel members with a yield strength of SY = 36. × 106 lbf/in2 (or 250 MPa) and an elastic modulus of E = 29. × 106 lbf/in2 (or 200 GPa).

Also assume square cross-sections, and consider buckling.

a. The truss in Exercise 7. Assume A = 0.50 in2 for all members.

b. The truss in Exercise 8. Assume A = 1.00 in2 for all members.

c. The truss in Exercise 9. Assume A = 4.00 cm2 for all members

d. The truss in Exercise 10. Assume A = 2.25 cm2 for all members.

e. The truss in Exercise 11. Assume A = 1.50 in2 for all members.

f. The truss in Exercise 12. Assume A = 2.00 in2 for all members.
