Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A structural engineer is tasked with designing a built-up column with an axial load of 1000 kN. Calculate the number of lacing members required if each member can handle 50 kN of shear force.
💡 Hint: Focus on the load distribution and capacity of each member.
A column has a design axial load of 2000 kN and uses double lacing at 60°. Calculate the shear force acting on each lacing member if designed to handle 2.5% of the axial load.
💡 Hint: Remember how to calculate shear based on axial load percentage.
