Question
A simple beam with a W 10 × 30 wide-flange
cross section supports a uniform load of intensity
q = 3.0 kips/ft on a span of length L = 12 ft (see figure).
The dimensions of the cross section are h =10.5 in.,
b = 5.81 in., tf = 0.510 in., and tw =0.300 in.
(a) Calculate the maximum shear stress τmax on
cross section A–A located at distance d = 2.5 ft
from the end of the beam.
(b) Calculate the shear stress τ at point B on the
cross section. Point B is located at a distance
a =1.5 in. from the edge of the lower flange.
