If a joist made out of 2x5 lumber were to span 10 ft and to carry a linear load of 90 #/ft,
what is the maximum shear stress this joist will experience?
True or false,In designing an open web steel joist we use span to death ratios to determine the minimum depth required?
Compute the spacing between joists with a bending stress of 12 MPa. Floor joists size: w = 75 mm by h = 200 mm and it is simply supported with a span of 5 m. Carry a floor loaded at 5 KN/m2. What safe floor load could be carried on a center-line spacing of 0.60 m.?
