- A simple beam that is 18 ft long supports a uniform load of intensity q. The beam is constructed of two C8 x 11.5 sections (channel sections or C-shapes) on either side of a 4 × 8 (actual dimensions) wood beam (see the cross section shown in the figure part a). The modulus of elasticity of the steel (E; = 30,000 ksi) is 20 times that of the wood (Ew). (a) If the allowable stresses in the steel and wood are 12,000 psi and 900 psi, respectively, what is the allowable load qmax Note: Disregard the weight of the beam, and see Table F-3(a) of Appendix F for the dimensions and properties of the C-shape beam. (b) If the beam is rotated 90° to bend about its v axis (see figure part b) and uniform load q = 250 lb/ft is applied, find the maximum stresses trs and crw in the steel and wood, respectively Include the weight of the beam. (Assume weight densities of 35 lb/ft3 and 490 lb/ft3 for the wood and steel, respectively.)arrow_forwardA 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.arrow_forwardA reinforced concrete T-beam (see figure) is acted on by a positive bending moment of M = 175 kip-ft.
