Q2. Figure 2 shows a structural system consisting of two vertical bars AB and DE , and a horizontal beam AD . All structural members have an identical circular cross section with a diameter of d and a material Young's modulus of E, and the critical slenderness ratios are 5=15, and P=40. A vertical load of P=3Ed2800 is applied at C . The yield strength of the column material is s=E100, and the corresponding factor of safety is ns=2. The factor of safety associated with buckling is st=5. The lengths of all structural members are measured using l=10d.
(1) Calculate the axial forces in AB and DE , and draw the bending moment diagram of AD .
(2) Check the safety of each structural member.
(3) Determine the allowable applied load P.
