A square tube section has side dimension of 20 in. arid thickness of 0.5 in. If the section is used for a 10-ft-long beam subjected to 1250 kip-in, torque at both ends, calculate the maximum shear stress and the angle of twist between the ends. Use G = 11,600 ksi.
A two-axle carriage that is part of an over head traveling crane in a testing laboratory moves slowly across a simple beam AB (sec figure). The load transmitted to the beam from the front axle is 2200 lb and from the rear axle is 3800 lb. The weight of the beam itself may be disregarded. Determine the minimum required section modulus S for the beam if the allowable bending stress is 17,0 ksi, the length of the beam is 18 ft, and the wheelbase of the carriage is 5 ft. Select the most economical I-beam (S shape) from Table F-2(a), Appendix F.
Calculate the distance e from the centerline of the web of a C 310 × 45 channel section to the shear center E (see figure). Note: For put poses of analysis, consider the flanges to be rectangles with thickness îrequal to the average flange thickness given in Table F-3(b) in Appendix F.

A floor system in a small building consists of wood planks supported by 2-in. (nominal width) joists spaced at distance s and measured from center to center (see figure). The span length L of each joist is 12 ft, the spacing s of the joists is 16 in., and the allowable bending stress in the wood is 1250 psi. The uniform floor load is 120 lb/ft", which includes an allowance for the weight of the floor system itself. Calculate the required section modulus S for the joists, and then select a suitable joist size (surfaced lumber) from Appendix G, assuming that each joist may be represented as a simple beam carrying a uniform load. What is the maximum floor load that can be applied to your final beam selection in 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 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.
