Question

A flitch beam is composed of two 50x300mm planks
reinforced with a 12.5mm steel plate as shown. Assume that
continuous lateral support is furnished by a floor system
supported by the beam. Use A36 steel with an allowable
bending stress of 150 MPa, Fy = 250 MPa. Es = 200,00MPa, Ew
= 7692MPa, fw = 4.3 MPa. The beam is on a simple span of
4.8m and supports a uniformly distributed load of 7.3 kN/m
which includes the weight of the beam.
Allowable stresses for shear:
Steel: fv = 0.60Fy MPa
Wood: fv = 0.58 MPa
Determine the following:
a.) The resisting moment of the flitch beam
b.) The applied moment to the flitch beam
c.) The shear capacity of the flitch beam
