SLX 09: prestressed bar

Description

Material		Modulus of elasticity	$E =210 000N/mm^2$
		Poisson’s ratio	$\nu= 0.25$
		Thermal delation	$\alfa= 0.000 01 / ^{\circ}C$
Geometry	Cross-section	bar A-D-F-B: Area	$A = 15 160 mm^2$
		bar A-D-F-B: Moment of intertia	$I = 217 400 000 mm^4$
		bars DC & EF: Area	$A = 3 480 mm^2$
		bars DC & EF: Moment of intertia	$I = 2 000 000 mm^4$
		bar A-C-E-B: Area	$A = 4 500 mm^4$
		bar A-C-E-B: Moment of intertia	$I = 2 000 000 mm^4$
		Factor for shear for all bars	$\lambda = 2.50$
	Boundary conditions	Point A	Simple support
		Point B	Roller support
		bars DC & EF	Hinged at both ends
Loads		on bar A-D-F-B	$q = 50 kN/m$
Loads		on bar CE	shortening of 6.52mm

Note: the shortening is modelled as a temperature load in Diamonds. A shortening of 6,52mm corresponds to a temperature decrease of 163°C.

$\Delta T=\frac{\Delta L}{\alpha \cdot L}=\frac{-6.52mm}{0,00001 /^{\circ}C \cdot 4000mm}=-163^{\circ}C$
