Chapter 16.2, Problem 40P

A glue-laminated column of 3-m effective length is to be made from boards of 24 × 100-mm cross section. Knowing that for the grade of wood used, E = 11 GPa and the adjusted allowable stress for compression parallel to the grain is σ C = 9 MPa, determine the number of boards that must be used to support the centric load when ( a )   P = 34 kN,  ( b ) P = 17 kN .

A rectangular column with a 4.4-m effective length is made of glued laminated wood. Knowing that for the grade of wood used the adjusted allowable stress for compression parallel to the grain is σC=8.3 MPa and the adjusted modulus E= 4.6 GPa, determine the maxi-mum allowable centric load for the column.
A sawn lumber column with a 7.5* 5.5-in. cross section has an 18-ft effective length. Knowing that for the grade of wood used the adjusted allowable stress for compression parallel to the grain isσC= 1200 psi and that the adjusted modulus E= 470 *103 psi, determine the maximum allowable centric load for the column.
An axial load P is supported by a short W8x40 column of cross-sectional area A=11.7 in? and is distributed to a concrete foundation by a square plate as shown. Knowing that the average normal stress in the column must not exceed 30ksi and that the bearing stress on the concrete foundation must not exceed 3.0 ksi, determine the side "a" of the plate that will provide the most economical and safe design.
