Question

Question: 1. Compute the vertical deflection at B and the horizontal deflection at C in Figure P8.37. Given: A_CD = 3 in.², I_AC = 160 in.⁴, A_AC  = 4 in.², and E = 29,000 kips/in.². Consider the strain energy produced by both axial and flexural deformations.

2. Compute the vertical and horizontal deflection at B and at the midspan of member CD in Figure P8.38. Consider both axial and bending deformations. Given: E = 29,000 kips/in.², I = 180 in.⁴, area of column = 6 in.², area of girder = 10 in.².
