Railroad ties must be designed to resist large shear loads. If the tie shown in Fig. E1 below is subjected to the 30 kip rail loadings and the gravel bed exerts a distributed reaction as shown, determine: The maximum shear force in the tie. The maximum shear stress in the tie. The maximum positive and negative bending moments in the tie. The maximum tensile and compressive bending stresses in the tie.
