Design a flat roof meeting certain mechanical performance criteria. The basic structure of the roof is a series of rectangular-section 'joists', made from softwood, that span the space to be covered by the roof.
• Length of joist between supports: L = 3 m• Width of joist: a = 50 mm• Modulus of joist material: E = 14 GN m-2• Load due to roof covering: mC = 600 N m-2• Snow loading specification for southern Britain: mS = 750 N m-2• Acceleration due to gravity: g = 9.8 m s-2
(a) By modelling the joists as independent simply supported beams, determine the minimum depth of a joist needed to support a 100 kg person without deflecting more than 20 mm at any point.
(b) Calculate the maximum permissible distance (centre-to-centre distance) between joists of this depth to deflect no more than 10 mm at any point when subject to the dead load of the roof covering and a live load from snow.
The construction standards applied to structures of this sort insist that a margin of error is incorporated into the design calculations. Explain, in your own words, the principles behind limit state design.
If the efficiency of the turbine in converting the mechanical energy given up by the fluid to the turbine shaft is 89% (nt = 0.89), calculate the friction loss in the turbine in J/kg.
Compare the time and cost of using the following three alternative methods for casting the concrete for the wall: 1) direct chute 2) pumped 3) crane and bucket.
