A removable sign post on a hurricane evacuation route (see figure part
a) consists of an upper pole with a slotted base plate which is bolted to
a short post anchored in the ground. The lower post is capped with a
separate conventional base plate having four holes of diameter db. The
upper slotted base plate has slots (or cut outs) at bolt locations 1 to 4
and is bolted to the conventional lower base plate at these four points
(see figure part b). Each of the four bolts has a diameter of db and a
washer with diameter of dw. The bolts are arranged in a rectangular
pattern (b h). Consider only wind force Wy applied in the y direction
at the center of pressure of the sign structure at height z = L above the
base. Neglect the weight of the sign and post, and also neglect friction
between the upper and lower base plates. Assume that the lower
conventional base plate and short anchored post are rigid.
(a) Find the average shear stress (MPa) at bolt 1 (see figure part c)
due to the wind force Wy; repeat for bolt 4.
(b) Find the average bearing stress b (MPa) between the bolt and
the upper slotted base plate (thickness t) at bolt 1; repeat for bolt 4.
(c) Find the average bearing stress b (MPa) between the upper
base plate and washer at bolt 4 due to the wind force Wy (assume the
initial bolt pretension is zero).
(d) Find the average shear stress (MPa) through the upper base
plate at bolt 4 due to the wind force Wy.
(e) Find an expression for the normal stress in bolt 3 due to the
wind force Wy.

Example 11-1
Two idealized columns are shown in Fig. 11-5. Both columns are initially
straight and vertical. The first column (Structure 1, Fig. 11-5a) consists of
a single rigid bar ABCD which is pinned at D and laterally supported at B
by a spring with translational stiffness . The second column (Structure 2,
Fig. 11-5b) is comprised of rigid bars ABC and CD that are joined at C by
an elastic connection with rotational stiffness R  (2/5)L2. Structure 2 is
pinned at D and has a roller support at B. Find an expression for critical
load Pcr for each column.

11.2 Buckling and Stability

Solution
Structure 1. We begin by considering the equilibrium of Structure 1 in a disturbed position caused by some external load and defined by small rotation
angle D (Fig. 11-5a). Summing moments about D, we get the following
equilibrium equation:
P A  HB a

(c)

where

A  D aL  2

and

HB  B  cD a

Since the angle D is small, lateral displacement A is obtained using Eq. (b).
The force HB in the translational spring at B is the product of spring constant
and small horizontal displacement B. Substituting the expression for A
from Eq. (b) and the expression for HB from Eq (c) into Eq. (a), and solving
for P, we find that the critical load Pcr for Structure 1 is

The buckled mode shape for Structure 1 is the disturbed position shown in
Fig. 11-5a.
Structure 2. The translational spring at B is now replaced by a roller support, and the structure is assembled using two rigid bars (ABC and CD) joined
by a rotational spring having stiffness R. If we sum moments about D for
the undisturbed structure, we conclude that horizontal reaction HB is zero.
Next, we consider the equilibrium of Structure 2 in a disturbed position, once
again defined by small rotation angle D (Fig. 11-5b). Using a free-body diagram of the upper bar ABC (Fig. 11-5c) and noting that the moment Mc is
equal to rotational stiffness R times the total relative rotation of the spring,
we have
MC  R(C  D)  R(2D  D)  R(3D)

(e)

We see that equilibrium of bar ABC requires that

MC  0

MC  P( A  C)  0

Substituting expressions for Mc, A, and c into Eq. (f), we obtain

structure is shown in its disturbed position and now has both translational
spring at B and rotational elastic connection R at joint C where rigid bars
ABC and CD are joined. Note that two rotation angles, C and D, are now
required to uniquely describe any arbitrary position of the disturbed
structure (alternatively, we could use translations B and C, for example,
instead of C and D). We will refer to position angles C and D as degrees
of freedom. Hence, the combined structure has two degrees of freedom
and, therefore, has two possible buckled mode shapes and two different
critical loads, each of which causes the associated buckling mode. In contrast, we see now that Structures 1 and 2 are single degree of freedom structures, because only D is needed (or alternatively, C) to define the buckled
shape of each structure depicted in Figs. 11-5a and b.
We can now observe that if rotational spring R becomes infinitely stiff
in the combined structure (Fig. 11-5d) (but remains finite), the two degree
of freedom (2DOF) combined model reduces to the single degree of freedom (SDOF) model of Fig. 11-5a. Similarly, if translational spring becomes
infinitely stiff in Fig. 11-5d (while R remains finite), the elastic support at B
becomes a roller support. We conclude that the solutions for Pcr for
Structures 1 and 2 in Eqs. (d) and (g) are simply two special-case solutions of
the general combined model in Fig. 11-5d.
Our goal now is to find a general solution for the 2DOF model in
Fig. 11-5d and then show that solutions for Pcr for Structures 1 and 2 can be
obtained from this general solution.
First, we consider the equilibrium of the entire 2DOF model in the disturbed position shown in Fig. 11-5d. Summing moments about D, we get

We can obtain a second equation which describes the equilibrium of

the disturbed structure from the free-body diagram of bar ABC alone
(Fig. 11-5e). The moment at C is equal to rotational spring stiffness R times
the relative rotation at C, and the spring force HB is equal to the spring constant times the total translational displacement at B:

We now have two algebraic equations in Eqs. (h) and (l) and two
unknowns (C,D). These equations can have nonzero (i.e., nontrivial) solutions only if the determinant of the coefficients of C and D is equal to
zero. Substituting the assumed expression for R (2/5L2) and then evaluating the determinant produces the following characteristic equation for
the system:

P2  a

Solving Eq. (m) using the quadratic formula results in two possible values of the critical load:

41  1241
b  0.637L
40

Pcr2  L a

41  1241
b  1.413L
40

These are the eigenvalues of the combined 2DOF system. Usually, the lower
value of the critical load is of more interest, because the structure will
buckle first at this lower load value. If we substitute Pcr1 and Pcr2 back into
Eqs. (h) and (l), we can find the buckled mode shape (i.e., eigenvector) associated with each critical load.
Application of combined model to Structures 1 and 2. If the rotational
spring stiffness R goes to infinity while the translational spring stiffness
remains finite, the combined model (Fig. 11-5d) reduces to Structure 1
because the rotation angles C and D are equal, as shown in Fig. 11-5a.
Equating C and D in Eq. (h) and solving for P results in Pcr  (9/8)L, which
is the critical load for Structure 1 [see Eq. (d)].
If the rotational spring stiffness R remains finite while the translational spring stiffness goes to infinity, the combined model (Fig. 11-5d)
reduces to Structure 2. The translational spring becomes a roller support,
so B  0 (i.e., HB  0) while rotation angle C  2D (i.e., C is
clockwise, so negative, as shown in Fig. 11-5b). Inserting  0 and
C  2D into Eq. (l) gives the critical load for Structure 2 [see Eq. (g)].

If the rotational spring stiffness R remains finite, while the translational spring stiffness goes to infinity, the
combined model (Fig. d) reduces to Structure 2. The translational spring becomes a roller support so B = 0 (so
HB = 0) while rotation angle C = -2D (i.e., C is clockwise so negative as shown in Fig. b). Inserting = 0 and C
= -2D into Eq. l leads to the critical load for Structure 2 (see Eq. g).

Structure 2: The translational spring at B is now replaced by a roller support, and the structure is assembled
using two rigid bars (ABC and CD) joined by a rotational spring having stiffness R. We investigate the
equilibrium of Structure 2 in a disturbed position, once again defined by small rotation angle D (Fig. 11-5(b)).
Using a free body diagram of upper bar ABC (Fig. 11-5(c)), and noting that the moment MC is equal to rotational
stiffness R times the total relative rotation of the spring, we have

HB = 0) while rotation angle C = -2D (i.e., C is clockwise so negative as shown in Fig. b). Inserting = 0 and C
