Currently Playing: PSAD Refresher 160: Deformation of Columns on Two-Story Building | Strength of Materials

Enrol to our Review Center: https://www.facebook.com/share/1AC24Wsb9v/?mibextid=wwXIf SITUATION: A two-story building has steel columns AB in the first floor and BC in the second floor, as shown in the figure. The roof load P1 equals 400 kN and the second-floor load P2 equals 720 kN. Each column has length L = 3.75 m. The cross-sectional areas of the first- and second-floor columns are 11,000 mm2 and 3,900 mm2, respectively. Assume E = 206 GPa. 1. Determine the shortening of the second-floor column, in mm. A. 1.867 C. 1.897 B. 1.812 D. 1.781 2. Determine the total shortening of the two columns, in mm. A. 3.059 C. 2.892 B. 3.721 D. 4.025 3. How much additional load P0 can be placed at the top of the column (point C) if the total shortening is not to exceed 4.0 mm? A. 44 C. 148 B. 58 D. 201 Thanks for watching!
