Bonus Prelim Exam: ES126B, ES126C and ES33 REQ

Problem 1: Refer to figure 11

Given: Unit Weight of Concrete = 23.6 kN/m3

Thickness of the slab = 100 mm

Height of the table = 650 mm

Modulus of Elasticity of Concrete = 4000 MPa

W = 60 kN/m2 excluding slab weight. This load is equally distributed

on the entire slab surface.

1. Determine the compressive stress on each concrete leg/post. Neglect

the slenderness effect and use only the simple stress formula. 10 pts
2. Determine the strain on each concrete leg of the table. 5 pts
3. Determine the minimum square dimension of wood having allowable
compressive stress of 5 MPa that can safely support the given loads if
75mmx100mm concrete leg is to be replaced. 5 pts
4. Determine the strain in wood if it has a modulus of elasticity of 3000
MPa. Use the result in no. 3
Problem 2: Refer to figure 22

Given: b= 200 mm, Tf = 12 mm, Tw = 25 mm, d = 400 mm W= 20 kN/m

P1 = 50 kN P2 = 60 kN

Allowable Shear Stress of Bolt = 120 MPa

Allowable Bearing Stress of Plate = 180 MPa

Allowable Bearing Stress of the web = 250 MPa

1. Determine the minimum diameter of bolt that can resist the reaction
at point B. 15 pts
