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.

(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.
