Construction is about static equilibrium (statics)
Statics = no motion (almost). All forces equal zero. All torques equal zero.

What is a force? A force is a push or pull on an object.

Forces are often at an angle.
In equilibrium, net forces must be zero both

Vectors have magnitude and direction.

Examine triangle members.
Look at any point on bridge. Forces = 0 and torques = 0. Determine which members are under
tension (like a string)? compression (like a rod)?

Does your design change depending on how the scoring is calculated?
• add or multiply two factors

Problem 1
The traction device is applied to a broken leg as shown. What weight is needed if the traction force pulling the leg straight out (right) is 165 N? (The tension in the rope equals the weight.)

Problem 2
Students want to hang a 1200 N cannon from ropes on the football goalpost as shown. If the goalposts are 5 meters apart and the ropes are 3 meters long, would a rope which breaks at 1000 N be good enough?

Which truss members are compression / tension?
![Page 26: Why did the bridge fall into the Mississippi River? bridge+collapse&total=206&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=1](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e7a5503460f94b7a8b3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Does strength depend only on the material properties?
Is paper very strong? How can you make paper stronger.
Make a cylinder Fold it into pleats

Make a beam from a popsicle stick.
Place the popsicle stick flat (horizontal) on two weights. Push down in center with your finger. How much bending do you observe? Now flip stick to vertical orientation. Push again. Any difference?

Failure from bending under perpendicular force
The perpendicular force (load) deforms the material.
The top half is compressed. The bottom half is pulled apart. Finally the tension breaks bonds
failure.

I beams are strong and light weight. Depends on top and bottom
and distance between. Larger separation makes I
beams stronger.
![Page 30: Why did the bridge fall into the Mississippi River? bridge+collapse&total=206&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=1](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e7a5503460f94b7a8b3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
I beam’s strength is in its shape.
The top is under compression. The bottom is under tension. The center-line is neutral.
![Page 31: Why did the bridge fall into the Mississippi River? bridge+collapse&total=206&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=1](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e7a5503460f94b7a8b3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Truss works because the middle of the beam does little.
Top is under compression. Bottom is under tension.

A truss is like the bridge

You can drill out the center of a beam without losing much integrity.
Trusses are cheaper than beams.

Why are trusses made of triangles not rectangles?
Second condition for equilibrium. All torques at a point must be zero.

Make a popsicle rectangle.
How stable is it?
