1. Determine the displacements and reactions for the space
frames shown in Figures P5–58 and P5–59. Let I
x
= 100 in.

, E =
30,000 ksi, G = 10,000 ksi, and A = 100 in.

for both frames.
2.
Design a jib crane as shown in Figure P5–60 that
will support a downward load of 6000 lb. Choose a common structural steel shape
for all members. Use allowable stresses of 0:66Sy (S
y
is the yield
strength of the material) in bending, and 0:60S
y
in
tension on gross areas. The maximum deflection should not
exceed 1=360 of the length of the horizontal beam. Buckling should be checked
using Euler’s or Johnson’s method as applicable.
