Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a bolted connection for a beam to a column, given a shear load of 150 kN and a maximum permissible shear stress of 100 MPa. Outline the methodology and calculations.
💡 Hint: Analyze each step rigorously, breaking down forces through shear calculations.
Evaluate the design of a welded connection under an eccentric load of 2000 N with a distance of 100 mm from the center of the weld. What factors must be considered?
💡 Hint: Use diagrams to visualize forces and torques acting on the weld.
