Question: 2 . 1 A pin - connected structure is composed of members A B and B C as shown in the figure. The structure is
A pinconnected structure is composed of members and as shown in the figure. The
structure is used to support a vertical repeated load kips at joint Members
and BC have a diameter of each. Each pin has a diameter of The clevis thickness is
and the thickness of the supporting bracket is as shown in the figure. All members are
made of ASTM A structural steel.
At support C determine:
a The load in member BCIbf
b The factor of safety based on the normal stress in the clevis. Is it acceptable?
c The shear stress in the pin psi and the corresponding factor of safety, is it
acceptable?
d The bearing stress on the pin psi Is it acceptable?
e The minimum acceptable pin diameter inch decimal places of pin C based on
shear stress.
f The maximum allowable load that can be applied based on the tensile stress
and diameter pin.
