Abstract:
In this project we were asked to select an object (L shaped), and apply the outcomes of Solid Mechanics course on it. First of all we have formed a group of five students, and then we have decided to choose a street-light found in one of the university internal streets, so we can apply the required objectives that we are asked for. The project’s main objective was to apply different types of stresses and loads on the street-light. The project was accomplished sequentially by applying each topic that has been taken in the class. The calculations’ procedure will be shown in this project document in details.
Introduction:
All objects in life are subjected to certain type of force(s), in which the weight force is the common one for all objects in life. For our term project, our main force that affects our object is the wind force. Moreover, certain types of loadings are applied to our object. The loadings that the project is concerned about are the following: Centric load, which is a load applied perpendicular to the neutral axis of abeam or column. The load acts through the geometric center (centroid) of gravity. Torsion, which is the twisting or wrenching of a body by the exertion of forces tending to turn one end or part about a longitudinal axis while the other is held fast or turned in the opposite direction; it is the state of being twisted. Eccentric loading, a load on a column or pile which is
