A composite beam is fabricated by bolting two 3.7-in-wide by 14-in.-deep timber planks to the sides of a 0.7-in. by 14-in. steel plate. The moduli of elasticity of the timber and the steel are 1830 ksi and 29000 ksi, respectively. The simply supported beam spans a distance of 15 ft and carries two concentrated loads P, which are applied as shown. Assume LAB = LCD= 4 ft, LBC = 7 ft, b = 3.7 in., d = 14 in. and t = 0.7 in. (a) Determine the maximum bending stresses o,, o, produced in the timber planks and the steel plate if P = 3.8 kips. (b) Assume that the allowable bending stresses of the timber and the steel are 1410 psi and 22700 psi, respectively. Determine the largest acceptable magnitude for concentrated loads P. (You may neglect the weight of the beam in your calculations.) Answers: (a) o, = (b) P= LAB i B b e Textbook and Media LBC F b Cross section C ksi, o, = kips. LCD i D ksi.
