Question:

Consider a pin-connected, two-segment, semi-circular steel rib shown in the sketch.

(a) If the bearing ends are free to rotate, find the thrust and moment in the steel. Data are: Hp = 10 ft, Ht=18 ft, B = 16 ft, R = 7.5 ft, set spacing S = 6 ft and specific weight of rock γ = 156pcf.

(b) What area of A36 steel is needed to resist thrust?

(c) If the section modulus of the steel beam is 30in.3, what is the bending stress?
