2.1 A pin-connected structure is composed of members AB and BC as shown in the figure. The
structure is used to support a vertical repeated load P=10 kips at joint B. Members AB
and BC have a diameter of 2'' each. Each pin has a diameter of 1''. The clevis thickness is
1'', and the thickness of the supporting bracket is 2'' as shown in the figure. All members are
made of ASTM A 36 structural steel.
At support C, determine:
a. The load in member BC.(Ibf)
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,3 decimal places) of pin C based on
shear stress.
f. The maximum (allowable) load ) that can be applied based on the tensile stress
and 1 diameter pin.
2 . 1 A pin - connected structure is composed of
