S13. A rectangular steel beam, 2 in. wide by 3 in. deep, is loaded as shown in Fig. P-513. Determine the magnitude and location of the maximum flexural stress. 450 lb M = 3600 lb ft -3 ft Figure P-513

Compression members are structural elements that carry compressive axial force. They are the vertical members of a building that support beams and their design, which is governed by buckling and strength. Columns are known as struct or compression member…
