You are required to identify and analyze an example for application of columns/axial members in real life. The analysis should include (but not limited to) the followings: a. Provide schematic diagrams and photos that show application of a column/axial member in real life. Explain function of the member for the selected application. b. Identify and determine: i) ii) Boundary/end conditions (support for the column/axial member such as fixed to the wall, pin supported and etc.). External axial load that act onto the column/axial member. Show all the calculations performed in order to estimate the axial load. iii) Properties of the column/axial member (such as Young's modulus, yield/ultimate stress, proportional limit, cross section (provide figure), dimensions and etc.). c. Determine critical load and critical stress for the column/axial member. Justify selection of the formulas for the calculations. d. Calculate and show that the column/axial member is safe and can withstand the load in part b. ii). e. Determine the maximum allowable eccentricity for the column/axial member. f. Determine the maximum deflection of the column/axial member (at the center) based on the eccentricity calculated in part f. List down all the assumptions made. Provide relevant references and citations. You are required to identify and analyze an example for application of columns/axial members in real life.
