Problem Description: A highway sign $14$ x $9$ and thickness of $0\mathrm{.}2$ is mounted to the support structure

as shown below such that it is $21$ away from the center of a $42$ highway. The bottom of the sign to the

highway is $18.$ The objective of this project is to design anchor bolts that can support the post of the

highway sign that can withstand a maximum wind speed of $80$ mph and the weight of the pole and sign,

and capable of breaking away when struck by a vehicle. The vertical and horizontal portions of the pole

must be designed for the same capabilities as outlined above $($Strength of Materials Project$).$ The pole

material and geometry must first be finalized. Define the number, grade, size, surface coating, and the

torque of the bolts to be used to support this highway sign. Form groups of no more than four people and

work as a team to solve the design project. Everyone must contribute equally. A report and a presentation

is required for each group.

Report: A design project report is required and will be graded according to the following.

Cover Page: A cover page with title, class information, date, and list of authors.

Abstract $(20$ pts$)$: One paragraph summarizing the objective, approach, results and conclusions.

Objective $(10$ pts$)$: Brief section outlining the problem description and project requirements.

Analysis $(40$ pts$)$: Detailed description of design methodology, include governing equations, all

associated mathematical derivations and calculation, drawings, free$-$body$-$diagrams or other related

diagrams or figures, and results.

Results and Conclusions $(20$ pts$)$: Summarize the results and indicate lessons learned from the project.

Discuss strengths and weaknesses of your design.

Appendix $(10$ pts$)$: Include all references and hand$-$written calculations associated with the project.

Presentation: A PowerPoint presentation of no longer than $15$ minutes to the entire class describing your

design and selling your design on its perceived design advantages, cost, and durability. All group

members must participate in the presentation. The presentation must contain the following section:

Cover Sheet: Project title, date, class number and name, name of authors.

Outline: A brief outline of what will be presented.

Objective: Outline of problem description and project requirements.

Results & Discussion: Summary of analysis performed, and results obtained.

Conclusion: Summary of results and recommendations
