A laminated beam is composed of four (4) planks, each of 150 mm x 30 mm, glued together to form a section 150 mm x 150 mm. The allowable shear stress in the glue is 850 kPa, the allowable shear stress in the wood is 1050 KPA, and the allowable flexure stress in the wood is 10 MPa. Determine the maximum uniformly distributed load which can be carried by the beam on a 45 m simple span.

A 300mm x 425 rectangular beam is reinforced for tension only with 4-28mm bars. The beam has a concrete cover of 40mm and a stirrup of 10mm diameter bar. The beam carries a live load and a dead load (without its self-weight). Given that unit weight of concrete is 24kN/ cu.m f'c = 21 MPa and fy = 414 MPa, calculate the additional concentrated live load as shown in the figure.
Minimum of 3 decimal places in all computations. Show your solution on paper
H.W.5: For the simply supported beam shown below reinforced by 4025 bars (fy= 420 MPa), the concrete strength (f= 21 MPa) evaluate the following: 1- Check the actual flexural stresses in concrete and steel if the span length equal to (4 m), dead load 8 kN/m including self-weight of the beam, live load equal to 10 kN/m. 2- The length of beam span that makes the concrete in tension face starts to crack. 3- The actual stress in concrete and steel if the span length of the beam is equal to 7 m.
