Problem 1.58* The Load and Resistance Factor Design method is to be used to select the two cables that will raise and lower a platform support¬ing two window washers. The platform weighs 160 lb and each of the window washers is assumed to weigh 195 lb with equip¬ment. Since these workers are free to move on the platform, 75% of their total weight and the weight of their equipment will be used as the design live load of each cable. (a) Assuming a resis¬tance factor ? = 0.85 and load factors ?D = 1.2 and ?L = 1.5, determine the required minimum ultimate load of one cable. (b) What is the corresponding conventional factor of safety for the selected cables?
