A laminated beam is composed of five planks, each 6 in. by 2 in., glued toget form a section 6 in. wide by 10 in. high. The allowable shear stress in the glu psi, the allowable shear stress in the wood is 120 psi, and the allowable flex stress in the wood is 1200 psi. Determine the maximum uniformly distribut that can be carried by the beam on a 6-ft simple span.

Transcribed Image Text:A laminated beam is composed of five planks, each 6 in. by 2 in., glued together to
form a section 6 in. wide by 10 in. high. The allowable shear stress in the glue is 90
psi, the allowable shear stress in the wood is 120 psi, and the allowable flexural
stress in the wood is 1200 psi. Determine the maximum uniformly distributed load
that can be carried by the beam on a 6-ft simple span.
