Draw the kern of the section for the given member at location A and comment on it. Find the shape factors of the section (Location A) and possible collapse mechanism. Draw all the possible collapse mechanisms. Client wants to change the straight member to a curved beam, shown in Figure 2. If allowable stress at locations 1 and 2 is 40 ksi and 50 ksi, respectively. Find stress distribution at that location and comment on whether it is safe or not, Take M= 100 kip- in Compute stresses at B. 5.95 kips C F 2 / 1 E 24" 5.95 kips D G 36" B (Vertical) 8=46 Q D DI 36 2/2 24 W-2 Klin W X D ...
