Along the length of the pile and around its perimeter, soil supplies a constant frictional resistance of w = 3.56 kN/m. The length of the pile is L= 4.3 m and its elastic modulus is E = 12.4 GPa. Calculate (a) the force Fg needed at the base of the pile for equilibrium. (b) the magnitude of the downward displacement at A relative to B.

A cylindrical brick chimney of height H weighs w = 825 lb/ft of height (see figure). The inner and outer diameters are d1= 3 ft and d2= 4 ft, respectively. The wind pressure against the side of the chimney is p = 10 lb/ft2 of projected area. Determine the maximum height H if there is to be no tension in the brickwork.
A steel riser pipe hangs from a drill rig located offshore in deep water (see figure).

The roof over a concourse at an airport is supported by the use of pretensioned cables. At a typical joint in the roof structure, a strut AB is compressed by the action of tensile forces Fin a cable that makes an angle = 75° with the strut (see figure and photo). The strut is a circular tube of steel (E = 30,000 ksi) with outer diameter d2= 2.5 in. and inner diameter d1= 2.0 in. The strut is 5.75 ft long and is assumed to be pin-connected at both ends. Using a factor of safety n = 2.5 with respect to the critical load, determine the allowable force F in the cable.

One end of a uniform { = 3.80-m-long rod of weight w is supported by a cable at an angle of e = 37° with the rod. The other end rests against a wall, where it is held by friction (see figure). The coefficient of static friction between the wall and the rod is u. = 0.525. Determine the minimum distance x from point A at which an additional weight w (the same as the weight of the rod) can be hung without causing the rod to slip at point A. m B w
