For Beams (B - 3) | Solution to Problem 542

For Beams (B - 3)

542-beam-b3.jpg$M_{max} = \frac{1}{8}(20)(62)$
$M_{max} = 90 \, \text{kN}\cdot\text{m}$
 
$S_{required} = \dfrac{M_{max}}{f_b} = \dfrac{90(1000^2)}{120}$
$S_{required} = 750 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}^3$

For Beams (B - 2) | Solution to Problem 542

For Beams (B - 2)

542-beam-b2.jpg$\Sigma M_{R2} = 0$
$6R_1 = 20(4) + 10(2)(5) + 15(4)(2)$
$R_1 = 50 \, \text{kN}$
 
$\Sigma M_{R1} = 0$
$6R_2 = 20(2) + 10(2)(1) + 15(4)(4)$
$R_2 = 50 \, \text{kN}$

Solution to Problem 541 | Floor Framing

Problem 541
The 18-ft long floor beams in a building are simply supported at their ends and carry a floor load of 0.6 lb/in2. If the beams have W10 × 30 sections, determine the center-line spacing using an allowable flexural stress of 18 ksi.

Solution to Problem 540 | Floor Framing

Problem 540
Timbers 8 inches wide by 12 inches deep and 15 feet long, supported at top and bottom, back up a dam restraining water 9 feet deep. Water weighs 62.5 lb/ft3. (a) Compute the center-line spacing of the timbers to cause fb = 1000 psi. (b) Will this spacing be safe if the maximum fb, (fb)max = 1600 psi, and the water reaches its maximum depth of 15 ft?

Solution to Problem 539 | Floor Framing

Problem 539
Timbers 12 inches by 12 inches, spaced 3 feet apart on centers, are driven into the ground and act as cantilever beams to back-up the sheet piling of a coffer dam. What is the maximum safe height of water behind the dam if water weighs = 62.5 lb/ft3 and ( fb )max = 1200 psi?

Solution to Problem 538 | Floor Framing

Problem 538
Floor joists 50 mm wide by 200 mm high, simply supported on a 4-m span, carry a floor loaded at 5 kN/m2. Compute the center-line spacing between joists to develop a bending stress of 8 MPa. What safe floor load could be carried on a center-line spacing of 0.40 m?

Solution to Problem 536 | Economic Sections

Problem 536
A simply supported beam 10 m long carries a uniformly distributed load of 20 kN/m over its entire length and a concentrated load of 40 kN at midspan. If the allowable stress is 120 MPa, determine the lightest W shape beam that can be used.

Solution to Problem 535 | Economic Sections

Problem 535
A simply supported beam 24 ft long carries a uniformly distributed load of 2000 lb/ft over its entire length and a concentrated load of 12 kips at 8 ft from left end. If the allowable stress is 18 ksi, select the lightest suitable W shape. What is the actual maximum stress in the selected beam?
