Question 1: (5 marks)

The column and beam supporting the road sign below are subjected to:

• Bending due to the weight of the sign and the beam,

• Torsion due to horizontal wind forces blowing on the face of the sign.

The sign dimensions are 4.5m wide x 1.4m high. The wind exerts a horizontal pressure of 2.5 kPa

normal to the sign face (ignore wind pressure on the beam and column). The beam is 8m long

(measured to the column centreline). The vertical distance from the foundation to the centreline of the

beam is 5.2m. The sign weighs 350 kg.

Both the column and the beam are made of steel box section SHS350x10.

Use nominal loads in all calculations and convert the wind pressure on the sign and the dead load

of the sign as point loads acting at the centre of the sign. Assuming the column is rigidly connected

to the footing and:

1. For both planes, draw bending moment diagrams for dead load and wind load.

2. Find the member torsion diagram for the column.

3. Change the condition at the footing from rigid to pin what will happen? State a discussion

paragraph explaining the error.

Management wants to change the safety stock of dehydrated water to be 1.25 pounds. This item has a standard deviation during the lead time of 1.5 pounds with an average of 64.3 pounds maintained in inventory. Calculate the percentage of time that you expect to run out of dehydrated water. (Keep two decimal places in your answer that represents percentage).

You all have the answer, I just wanted to know when you use the table when I tries to use it showed that it was .2967 but online here it has that it equals to 0.7967 where do you find this? cause the table is unclear to me. How do you read table and can you point out where the 0.7967 came from and then maybe I will understand how to get the answer.
