2) The box beam is constructed from four boards that are fastened together using nails spaced along the beam every 2 inches. The beam is subjected to a maximum internal shear force of 475 lb. a) Locate the neutral axis and compute the moment of inertia for the cross-section in in4. [Ans. to check: 1 = 197.7 in¹] b) Calculate the first moment of area in in³ at each of the two connection interfaces (i.e. once for the top flange and once for the bottom board). Draw a clear sketch of the cross-section showing the neutral axis and the necessary dimensions to calculate the first moment of area. [Ans. to Check: Qtop = 31.2 in³] c) Compute the shear flow occurring between the wood and the nails at each of the two connection interfaces in lb/in. [Ans. to Check: qbottom= 49.0 lb/in] d) Design the section by choosing the required shear strength of the nails (in /b). Check both interfaces but choose only one assuming you would like to use the same nails for the entire beam. [Ans. to check: 75 lb per nail] 2 in. 1 in. 12 in.O 6 in. 1 in. 5 in. -1 in.
