Question
Beam AB is supported as shown in Figure P4.13. Tie rod (1) is attached at B and C with double shear pin connections, while the pin at A is attached with a single shear connection. The pins at A, B, and C each have an ultimate shear strength of 54 ksi, and tie rod (1) has a yield strength of 36 ksi. A concentrated load of P= 16 kips is applied to the beam as shown. A factor of safety of 3.0 is required for all components. Determine:
a) the minimum required diameter for tie rod (1)
b) the minimum required diameter for the double shear pins at B and C
c) the minimum required diameter for the single shear pin at A
