Since actual Cpis greater than that assumed, the 10x12 willwork; the question is whethera smaller cross-section willwork.Check next smaller size: a IOxIO.Find actual value ofCp for a lOx10 --> same calculations as for a lOx12, so Cp= 0.9 asbefore.P'c= (F*c)(Cp)= 625(0.9) = 562.5 psi;Capacityof 1Ox10"" (562.5)(9.5x 9.5) "'"50,766# which is adequate for the calculatedloads.

· second case governs, so CD""1.0 with total load on column (i.e., load per sq. fttimes tributary area) - [60 + 2(30)](15 x 15) - 27.000#.

To select cross-section, first assume Cp; for example, assume Cp= 0.8. Then, F'e=625(1.0)(0.8) = 500 psi.Required ar~ A = P / F'e= 27,000 / 500 = 54 in2.Select 8x8 with A = 56.25 in2and check usil1gactual value ofCp, found as follows:

Assumefixedconnections(see Table A-7.1)

SOLUTION

Find capacity of 4x4, fixed ends, with unbraced length computed as follows:1= (102 + 82)112= 12.8 feet.

With fixed constraints, the effectivelength is 12.8(0.65) z 8.32 feet (see table A-7.1,using "code" value of 0.65)

With dead and snow loads, CD= ] .15; CF = ].] 5; CM = 1.0; AND Cpis calculated asfollows:

F · F*c = 1300(1.] 5)(1.15)(1.0) = ]719 psi· FCE = 0.3(1,600,000) / (8.32 x 12/3.5)2 = 590· A =(1 + 590/1719) / (2 x 0.8) =- 0.84. B = (590/1719) / (0.8) = 0.43. Cp = 0.84 - (0.842 - 0.43)112= 0.31.

FIe= (F*e)(Cp)= 1719X0.31 = 541 psiThe capacity of the 4x4:o (541)(3.5 x 3.5)=; 6.634#

Q-50 Find the actual load (internal force) on the diagonal truss member shown inproblem above.

Is this 4x4 member adequate? For analysis,assume pin-endedjoints (even though actualjoints are fixed).

SOLUTION

Find the actual internal force (load) in the 4x4 post (the word "post" used descriptively;note that the size classificationis "dimensionlumber").
