    Problem Set No. Title: Factor of Safety Page No.

    1. Link BC is 6 mm thick, has a width w = 25 mm, and is made of a steel with a 480-
    MPa ultimate strength in tension. What was the safety factor used if the structure
    shown was designed to support a 16-kN load P?

    Solution:

    2. Link BC is 6 mm thick and is made of a steel with a 450-MPa ultimate strength in


    tension. What should be its width w if the structure shown is being designed to
    support a 20-kN load P with a factor of safety of 3?

    3. A ¾
    -in.-diameter rod made of the same material as rods AC and AD in the
    truss shown was tested to failure and an ultimate load of 29 kips was
    recorded. Using a factor of safety of 3.0, determine the required
    diameter (a) of rod AC, (b) of rod AD.

    Solution

    4. Link AB is to be made of a steel for which the ultimate normal stress is


    450 MPa. Determine the cross-sectional area for AB for which the factor
    of safety will be 3.50. Assume that the link will be adequately reinforced
    around the pins at A and B.

    5. Two wooden members shown, which support a 3.6 kip load, are
    joined by plywood splices fully glued on the surfaces in contact.
    The ultimate shearing stress in the glue is 360 psi and the clearance
    between the members is 1/4 in. Determine the required length L of
    each splice if a factor of safety of 2.75 is to be achieved.

    6. Two plates, each 1/8 in. thick, are used to splice a plastic strip as shown. Knowing that the ultimate shearing
    stress of the bonding between the surface is 130 psi, determine the factor of safety with respect to shear when P
    = 325 lb.

    Solution

    7.
    A load P is supported as shown by a steel pin that has been inserted in a short wooden
    member hanging from the ceiling. The ultimate strength of the wood used is 60
    MPa in tension and 7.5 MPa in shear, while the ultimate strength of the steel is 145
    MPa in shear. Knowing that b = 40 mm, c = 55 mm, and d = 12 mm, determine the
    load P if an overall factor of safety of 3.2 is desired.

    8. Three 18-mm-diameter steel bolts are to be used to attach the steel plate shown to a
    wooden beam. Knowing that the plate will support a 110-kN load and that the
    ultimate shearing stress for the steel used is 360 MPa, determine the factor of safety
    for this design.

    9. Each of the two vertical links CF connecting the two horizontal members AD
    and EG has a uniform rectangular cross section 1/4 in. thick and 1 in. wide, and is
    made of a steel with an ultimate strength in tension of 60 ksi. The pins at C and F
    each have a 1/2 -in. diameter and are made of a steel with an ultimate strength
    in shear of 25 ksi. Determine the overall factor of safety for the links CF and
    the pins connecting them to the horizontal members.

    total weight and the weight of their equipment will be used as the design live load of each cable. (a) Assuming a
    resistance factor φ = 0.85 and load factors γ D = 1.2 and γ L =1.5, determine the required minimum ultimate
    load of one cable. (b) What is the conventional factor of safety for the selected cables?
