ASSIGNMENT
You are a structural engineer who has been asked to design and analyze a structure to support a weight across a 600 mm wide chasm.
You need to show how strong your design is by analytical method.
You also have to verify your results by means of a software Skyciv/SOUDWORKS/ANSYS.
You are allowed to use wood as a structural material. The required properties of the wood are given below in the table 1.
Table 1. Ultimate tensile and compressive strength of the wooden sticks. Tensile experiment 110 50 mm 2.1 2.7 kN
Compression test
110 90 70 50 30 mm 0.14 0.21 0.28 0.54 0.82 kN Tensile test for joints 10 15 20 25 30 40 mm 0.23 0.3 0.35 0.37 0.41 0.45 kN
Design and analyze a structure to support a weight across a 600 mm wide chasm. Verify your results by means of a software Skyciv/SOUDWORKS/ANSYS.
