A simply supported wooden I-beam with a 12-ft span supports a distributed load of intensity q = 90 lb/ft over its length (see figure part a). The beam is constructed with a web of Douglas-fir plywood and flanges of pine glued to the web, as shown in the figure part b. The plywood is 3/8 in. thick: the flanges are 2 in, × 2 in, (actual size). The modulus of elasticity for the plywood is 1,600,000 psi and for the pine is 1,200,000 psL Calculate the maximum bending stresses in the pine flanges and in the plywood web. What is q, if allowable stresses are 1600 psi in the flanges and 1200 psi in the web?
A beam with a guided support and 10-ft span supports a distributed load of intensity q = 660 lb/ft over its first half (see figure part a) and a moment Mq = 300 ft-lb at joint B. The beam consists of a wood member (nominal dimensions 6 in. x 12 in. and actual dimensions 5.5 in. x 11.5 in. in cross section, as shown in the figure part b) that is reinforced by 0.25-in.-thick steel plates on top and bottom. The moduli of elasticity for the steel and wood are £s = 30 X 106 psi and £"w = 1.5 X 106 psi, respectively. Calculate the maximum bending stresses trs in the steel plates and rw in the wood member due to the applied loads. If the allowable bending stress in the steel plates is = 14,000 psi and that in the wood is (T.dV!= 900 psi, find qmiiX. (Assume that the moment at .fi, A/0, remains at 300 ft-lb.) If q = 660 lb/ft and allowable stress values in part (b) apply, what is Müm^ at B?
-14 A simply supported composite beam with a 3.6 m span supports a triangularly distributed load of peak intensity q0at mid-span (see figure part a). The beam is constructed of two wood joists, each 50 mm x 280 mm, fastened to two steel plates, one of dimensions 6 mm × 80 mm and the lower plate of dimensions 6 mm x 120mm (see figure part b). The modulus of elasticity for the wood is 11 GPa and for the steel is 210 GPa. If the allowable stresses are 7 MPa for the wood and 120 MPa for the steel, find the allowable peak load intensity q0maxwhen the beam is bent about the z axis. Neglect the weight of the beam.
Two flat beams AB and CD, lying in horizontal planes, cross at right angles and jointly support a vertical load P at their midpoints (see figure). Before the load P is applied, the beams just touch each other. Both beams are made of the same material and have the same widths. Also, the ends of both beams are simply supported. The lengths of beams AB and CD are LABand LCD, respectively. What should be the ratio tABltCDof the thicknesses of the beams if all four reactions arc to be the same?
Two wood beams, each of rectangular cross section (3.0 in. x 4.0 in., actual dimensions), are glued together to form a solid beam with dimensions 6.0 in. x 4.0 in. (sec figure). The beam is simply supported with a span of S ft. What is the maximum moment Mmaxthat may be applied at the left support if the allowable shear stress in the glued joint is 200 psi? (Include the effects of the beams own weight, assuming that the wood weighs 35 lb/ft3.) Repeat part (a) if Mmaxis based on allowable bending stress of 2500 psi.
A steel plate (called a cover ploie) having cross-sectional dimensions 6,0 in. × 0.5 in. is welded along the full length of the bottom flange of a W 12 × 50 wide-flange beam (sec figure, which shows the beam cross section). What is the percent increase in the smaller section modulus (as compared to the wide-flange beam alone)?
A pontoon bridge (see figure) is constructed of two longitudinal wood beams, known as bulks, that span between adjacent pontoons and support the transverse floor beams, which arc called chesses. For purposes of design, assume that a uniform floor load of 7.5 kPa acts over the chesses. (This load includes an allowance for the weights of the chesses and balks.) Also, assume that the chesses are 2.5 m long and that the balks are simply supported with a span of 3.0 m. The allowable bending stress in the wood is 15 MPa. If the balks have a square cross section, what is their minimum required width b^l Repeat part (a) if the balk width is 1.5 b and the balk depth is b; compare the cross-sectional areas of the two designs.
Each girder of the lift bridge (sec figure) is 180 ft long and simply supported at the ends. The design load for each girder is a uniform load of intensity 1,6 kips/ft. The girders are fabricated by welding three steel plates to form an I-shaped cross section (see figure) having section modulus S = 3600 in3. What is the maximum bending stress rmaxin a girder due to the uniform load?
A simple beam of span length 3.2 m carries a uniform load of intensity 48 kN/m, The cross section of the beam is a hollow box with wood flanges and steel side plates, as shown in the figure. The wood flanges are 75 mm x 100 mm in cross section, and the steel plates are 300 mm deep. What is the required thickness t of the steel plates if the allowable stresses are 120 M Pa for the steel and 6,5 M Pa for the wood? (Assume that the moduli of elasticity for the steel and wood are 210 GPa and 10 GPa, respectively, and disregard the weight of the beam.)
A steel beam of length L = 16 in. and cross-sectional dimensions h = 0.6 in. and h = 2 in. (see figure) supports a uniform load of intensity if = 240 lb/in., which includes the weight of the beam. Calculate the shear stresses in the beam (at the cross section of maximum shear force) at points located 1/4 in., 1/2 in., 3/4 in., and I in, from the top surface of the beam. From these calculations, plot a graph showing the distribution of shear stresses from top to bottom of the beam.

A W 12 x 50 steel wide-flange beam and a segment of a 4-inch thick concrete slab (see figure) jointly resist a positive bending moment of 95 kip-ft. The beam and slab are joined by shear connectors that are welded to the steel beam. (These connectors resist the horizontal shear at the contact surface.) The moduli of elasticity of the steel and the concrete are in the ratio 12 to 1. Determine the maximum stresses r1 and xtin the steel and concrete, respectively. Note: See Table F-l(a) of Appendix F for the dimensions and properties of the steel beam.
