Q1. A hollow section with the cross section shown in Figure Q1 is subjected to an axial load of
20×361 [kN] not to exceed a maximum of 1 650 kN acting through the external corner “A”.
Calculate:

i)
ii)		 The maximum compressive and tensile stresses in the strut;
The minimum vertical load that must be applied at the opposite external corner
marked “B” in order for there to be no resultant tensile stress at B caused by the two
loads acting together.

Q2. Using Macaulay’s Method, calculate the required second moment of area (I) for the steel
beam shown in Figure Q2 with Young’s Modulus of 210 kN/mm2 and a central (mid point)
deflection of the beam that may not exceed 30 mm. Quote the answer in cm4
10.5×361 [kN]
