A simply supported wooden I-beam with a 12-ft span supports a distributed load of intensity q = 90 lb/ft over its length (see figure part a). The beam is constructed with a web of Douglas-fir plywood and flanges of pine glued to the web, as shown in the figure part b. The plywood is 3/8 in. thick: the flanges are 2 in, × 2 in, (actual size). The modulus of elasticity for the plywood is 1,600,000 psi and for the pine is 1,200,000 psL Calculate the maximum bending stresses in the pine flanges and in the plywood web. What is q, if allowable stresses are 1600 psi in the flanges and 1200 psi in the web?
Two wood beams, each of rectangular cross section (3.0 in. x 4.0 in., actual dimensions), are glued together to form a solid beam with dimensions 6.0 in. x 4.0 in. (sec figure). The beam is simply supported with a span of S ft. What is the maximum moment Mmaxthat may be applied at the left support if the allowable shear stress in the glued joint is 200 psi? (Include the effects of the beams own weight, assuming that the wood weighs 35 lb/ft3.) Repeat part (a) if Mmaxis based on allowable bending stress of 2500 psi.
A hollow box beam is constructed with webs of Douglas-fir plywood and flanges of pine, as shown in the figure in a cross-sectional view. The plywood is 1 in. thick and 12 in. wide; the flanges are 2 in. × 4 in. (nominal size). The modulus of elasticity for the plywood is 1,800,000 psi and for the pine is 1,400,000 psi. If the allowable stresses are 2000 psi for the plywood and 1750 psi for the pine, find the allowable bending moment Mmaxwhen the beam is bent about the z axis. Repeat part (a) if the beam is now bent about its y-axis.
The cross section of a sand wie h beam consisting of aluminum alloy faces and a foam core is shown in the figure. The width b of the beam is 8.0 in, the thickness I of the faces is 0.25 in., and the height hcof the core is 5.5 in. (total height h = 6.0 in). The moduli of elasticity are 10.5 × 106 psi for the aluminum faces and 12.000 psi for the foam core. A bending moment M = 40 kip-in. acts about the z axis. Determine the maximum stresses in the faces and the core using (a) the general theory for composite beams and (b) the approximate theory for sandwich beams.
-14 A simply supported composite beam with a 3.6 m span supports a triangularly distributed load of peak intensity q0at mid-span (see figure part a). The beam is constructed of two wood joists, each 50 mm x 280 mm, fastened to two steel plates, one of dimensions 6 mm × 80 mm and the lower plate of dimensions 6 mm x 120mm (see figure part b). The modulus of elasticity for the wood is 11 GPa and for the steel is 210 GPa. If the allowable stresses are 7 MPa for the wood and 120 MPa for the steel, find the allowable peak load intensity q0maxwhen the beam is bent about the z axis. Neglect the weight of the beam.
A cantilever beam of length L = 2 m supports a load P = 8,0 kN (sec figure). The beam is made of wood with cross-sectional dimensions 120 mm x 200 mm. Calculate the shear stresses due to the load/"at points located 25 mm, 50 mm, 75 mm, and 100 mm from the top surface of the beam. From these results, plot a graph showing the distribution of shear stresses from top to bottom of the beam.
A bimetallic beam used in a temperature-control switch consists of strips of aluminum and copper bonded together as shown in the figure, which is a cross-sectional view. The width of the beam is LO in,, and each strip has a thickness of 1/16 in. Under the action of a bending moment M = 12 lb-in, acting about the z axis, what are the maximum stresses aaand ecin the aluminum and copper, respectively? (Assume fA, = 10,5 x l0 psi and ecu= 16,8 × 106 psi,)
A steel plate (called a cover ploie) having cross-sectional dimensions 6,0 in. × 0.5 in. is welded along the full length of the bottom flange of a W 12 × 50 wide-flange beam (sec figure, which shows the beam cross section). What is the percent increase in the smaller section modulus (as compared to the wide-flange beam alone)?
A W 12 x 50 steel wide-flange beam and a segment of a 4-inch thick concrete slab (see figure) jointly resist a positive bending moment of 95 kip-ft. The beam and slab are joined by shear connectors that are welded to the steel beam. (These connectors resist the horizontal shear at the contact surface.) The moduli of elasticity of the steel and the concrete are in the ratio 12 to 1. Determine the maximum stresses r1 and xtin the steel and concrete, respectively. Note: See Table F-l(a) of Appendix F for the dimensions and properties of the steel beam.
A cantilever beam AB with a circular cross section and length L = 750 mm supports a load P = 800 N acting at the free end (see figure). The beam is made of steel with an allowable bending stress of 120 MPa. Determine the required diameter dmm(figure part a) of the beam, considering the effect of the beam's own weight. Repeat part (a) if the beam is hollow with wall thickness t = df$ (figure part b); compare the cross-sectional areas of the two designs.
Two flat beams AB and CD, lying in horizontal planes, cross at right angles and jointly support a vertical load P at their midpoints (see figure). Before the load P is applied, the beams just touch each other. Both beams are made of the same material and have the same widths. Also, the ends of both beams are simply supported. The lengths of beams AB and CD are LABand LCD, respectively. What should be the ratio tABltCDof the thicknesses of the beams if all four reactions arc to be the same?
The cross section of a rectangular beam having a width b and height h is shown in part a of the figure. For reasons unknown to the beam designer, it is planned to add structural projections of width b/9 and height d/9 the top and bottom of the beam (see part b of the figure). For what values of d is the bending-moment capacity of the beam increased? For what values is it decreased?
