A beam 19 ft in length has concentrated live loads of 6 kips and 9 kips at 5 ft and 13 ft, respectively, from the left-hand support. In addition, there is a uniformly distributed dead load of 1.2 kips/ft beginning 5 ft from the left support and continuing to the right support. Design the beam for flexure.

-15 A composite beam is constructed froma wood beam (3 in. x 6 in.) and a steel plate (3 in, wide). The wood and the steel are securely fastened to act as a single beam. The beam is subjected to a positive bending moment M. = 75 kip-in. Calculate the required thickness of the steel plate based on the following limit states: Allowable compressive stress in the wood = 2 ksi Allowable tensile stress in the wood = 2 ksi Allowable tensile stress in the steel plate = 16 ksi Assume that Ew= 1,500 ksi and es= 30,000 ksi.
A simple beam with an overhang is subjected to d point load P = 6kN. If the maximum allowable deflect ion at point C is 0.5 mm, select the lightest W360 section from Table F-l{b) that can be used for the beam. Assume that L = 3 m and ignore the distributed weight of the beam.
The deflection curve for a cantilever beam AB (sec figure) is given by v=q0x2120LEI(10L210L2x+5Lx2x3) Describe the load acting on the beam.
For the beam AB shown in Cases 1 and 2, derive and plot expressions for the shear force and bending moment acting on section 1 in terms of the distance x (0 < x< L). [Note: Case 1 results in the conventional V- and M-diagrams, in which the loads are fixed and the location of the section varies; the diagrams for Case 2 (called influence diagrams) show the variation of V and M at a fixed section as the location of the load is varied]
A square wood platform is 8 ft × 8 ft in area and rests on masonry walls (see figure). The deck of the platform is constructed of 2-in. nominal thickness tongue-and-groove planks (actual thickness 1.5 in.; sec Appendix CL) supported on two S-ft long beams. The beams have 4 in. × (i in. nominal dimensions (actual dimensions 3.5 in. × 5.5 in.). The planks arc designed to support a uniformly distributed load n ( lb/ft" i acting over the entire top surface of the platform. I be allowable bending stress for the planks is 2400 psi and the allowable shear stress is 100 psi. W ben analyzing the planks, disregard their weights and assume that their reactions are uniformly distributed over the top surfaces of the supporting beams. (a) Determine the allowable platform load Mr. (lb/ft2) based upon the bending stress in the planks. (b) Determine the allowable platform load if-. (lb/ft-) based upon the shear stress in the planks. (c) Which of the preceding values becomes the allowable load alolow on the platform? Hints: Use care in constructing the loading diagram for the planks, noting especially that the reactions are distributed loads instead of concentrated loads. Also, note that the maximum shear forces occur at the inside faces of the supporting beams.

A propped cantilever beam of a length L is loaded by a concentrated moment M0at midpoint C Use the second-order differential equation of the deflection curve to solve for reactions at A and B.
