You are required to identify and analyze an example for application of columns/axial members in real life. The analysis should include (but not limited to) the followings: a. Provide schematic diagrams and photos that show application of a column/axial member in real life. Explain function of the member for the selected application. b. Identify and determine: i) ii) Boundary/end conditions (support for the column/axial member such as fixed to the wall, pin supported and etc.). External axial load that act onto the column/axial member. Show all the calculations performed in order to estimate the axial load. iii) Properties of the column/axial member (such as Young's modulus, yield/ultimate stress, proportional limit, cross section (provide figure), dimensions and etc.). c. Determine critical load and critical stress for the column/axial member. Justify selection of the formulas for the calculations. d. Calculate and show that the column/axial member is safe and can withstand the load in part b. ii). e. Determine the maximum allowable eccentricity for the column/axial member. f. Determine the maximum deflection of the column/axial member (at the center) based on the eccentricity calculated in part f. List down all the assumptions made. Provide relevant references and citations.
