Flexural Members
A simply supported wood beam having a length of 24 ft and rectangular in cross section supports
loadings that produces a maximum moment of 14,400 lb-ft. The allowable bending stress of the beam is 1800 psi. If
the ratio of the height to width (h/b) of the beam is 2.0, determine the minimum width b that can be used for the
beam. The section modulus for a rectangular cross section is S = bh³/6.
1. The section modulus is
C. 7.78 in3
d. 96 in3
а.
186 in3
b. 15.6 in3
2.
The minimum required beam width is
a. 2.62 in.
b. 5.24 in.
C. 2.27 in.
d. 2.86 in.
