Question
In the course of your internship at a development company you are asked to make a technical
recommendation related to the optimum use of material for structural purposes. In this case you are
given two types of timber/wood sections. The dimensions of the sections are shown in the following
Figure 1.
150mm
200mm
50 mm
FIGURE I
1) Propose a composite "T" section beam that will give the maximum moment of Inertia (l) in
horizontal (or x-x).
Hint:
a) First determine the position of neutral axis (centroid) x-x of the composite. Then
determine the distance of the individual centroid to the composite centroid.
b) Calculate individual (I.)
c) Calculate composite (I)
