If possible, answer in 3 decimal places, thank you. For the wood beam shown in Figure A, assume L=1.5 m and P=8 kN. The beam cross section shown in Figure B has dimensions of b=47 mm and d=232 mm. (a) Determine the maximum horizontal shear stress in the beam. (b) If the allowable shear stress for the wood is 800 kPa, what is the minimum width b that is acceptable for this beam? Calculate the reaction forces By and Dy acting on the beam. Positive values for the reactions are indicated by the directions of the red arrows shown for the forces By and Dy on the free-body diagram below. (Note: Since Dx=0, it has been omitted from the free-body diagram.) By= kN Dy= kN Determine the shear forces VA⁢B, VB⁢C, and VC⁢D acting in segments AB, BC, and CD, respectively. Note that the shear force is constant in each of these segments. When entering your answers, use the shear force sign convention. VA⁢B= kN VB⁢C= kN VC⁢D= kN…

shows the floor framing plan of a reinforced concrete building. All beams are 300 mm x 600 mm. The properties are as follows: slab thickness = 100 mm; super imposed dead load = 3 kPa; live load = 4.8 kPa; concrete unit weight = 24 kN/m3. The columns at E and H are deleted thus girder BEHK alone supports beam DEF at E and beam GHI at H. Calculate the total ultimate load in kN concentrated at E induced by beam DEF using tributary area method.

Step 2 1st condition Bending moment at hinge D =0 Rc*2 = (3*2)*(2/2) Rc = 3 KN Rc = 3 KN (upward) could you explain where these numbers coming? Why that divided by two? and is formula like this: 3kN/m*2m*2m/2m? 2nd condition Bending moment at hinge F =0 RB*2= (3*4)*(3+4/2)-3*7 RB = 19.5 KN RB = 19.5 KN ( upward) Same this formula If you can explain this like drawing this on paper and write where all meters and number come, that would be help me. If you could also tell the direction, where you would calculation them
