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).

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 compound beam shown in the figure consists of a cantilever beam AB (length L) that is pin-connected to a simple beam BD (length 2L).

A heavy object of weight W is dropped onto the midpoint of a simple beam AB from a height h (see figure). Obtain a formula for the maximum bending stress ^ma* due to tne filing weight in terms of h, st, and 5st, where it is the maximum bending stress and Sstis the deflection at the midpoint when the weight W acts on the beam as a statically applied load.

A simple log bridge in a remote area consists of two parallel logs with planks across them (see figure). The logs arc Douglas fir with an average diameter 300 mm. A truck moves slowly across the bridge, which spans 2.5 m. Assume that the weight of the truck is equally distributed between the two logs. Because the wheelbase of the truck is greater than 2,5 m, only one set of wheels is on the bridge at a time. Thus, the wheel load on one log is equivalent to a concentrated load W acting at any position along the span. In addition, the weight of one log and the planks it supports is equivalent to a uniform load of 850 N/m acting on the log. Determine the maxi mum permissible wheel load W based upon (a) an allowable bending stress of 7.0 MPa and (b) an allowable shear stress of 0.75 MPa.
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).

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?
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.
