Problem 914 | Combined Axial and Bending

Problem 914
The structure shown in Figure P-914 is hinged to fixed is hinged to fixed supports at A and C. Assume that the pin connections at A, B, and C are frictionless. The bars are each 4 in. by 4 in. in section. Compute the maximum compressive stress developed in bar AD.
