For the pipe of given Problem, compute the maximum load P that may be applied if the allowable compressive stress at point B is 80 MPa.
Problem
A section of a 51-mm-diameter standard-weight steel pipe is bent into the form shown and rigidly embedded in a concrete footing. Calculate the stresses at points A and B on the pipe. P is 900 N and e is 600 mm.
