Question

beefy anchor supports are needed to afix suspension bridges to the earth such as these ones from arthur ravenel jr. bridge in charleston, south carolina. let us model the illustrated orange anchor as a planar truss that is subjected to the cable tension load . knowing 80 kn, cm, cm, cm and , determine forces , , and in kn in members , and .

Answer 1

The given values that are calculated of the anchors are:

-84.56kN and 20 . 46kn

How to solve for the extension

We have to start by drawing the various angles of the joint of A

Next we have to make use of the principle of Lami's theory as we solve for the value of B.

We would have

80 / sin 40.57 = fac / 223.43 = fab / sin 96

Fac = -84.56kN

Fab = 122.33KN

We are to find F D B of B next

FAC / sin 90 = fbc / sin 194

= 20 . 46kn

What is a  tension load?

This is the term that is used to refer to the applied force that would have to be divided by the unit that has the ability to be able to stretch a material. The load is what has the ability to be able to increase the length that a material would have. It is also the opposite of compression.
