t-beam

Problem 572
The T section shown in Fig. P-572 is the cross-section of a beam formed by joining two rectangular pieces of wood together. The beam is subjected to a maximum shearing force of 60 kN. Show that the NA is 34 mm from the top and the I_NA = 10.57 × 10⁶ mm⁴. Using these values, determine the shearing stress (a) at the neutral axis and (b) at the junction between the two pieces of wood.
 

Problem 561
A T section has the dimensions given in Fig. P-561. Show that the neutral axis is 3 inches below the top and that I_NA = 166.7 in4. If the tensile stress at the bottom of the flange is 1000 psi, calculate (a) the total tensile force in the flange and (b) the total compressive force in the cross section. Also compute (c) the moment of the compressive force about the NA, and (d) the moment of the total tensile force about the NA. (e) How does the sum of (c) and (d) compare with the total applied bending moment as computed from the flexure formula?

Problem 557
A cast-iron beam 10 m long and supported as shown in Fig. P-557 carries a uniformly distributed load of intensity w_o (including its own weight). The allowable stresses are f_bt ≤ 20 MPa and f_bc ≤ 80 MPa. Determine the maximum safe value of w_o if x = 1.0 m.
 

Problem 556
A T beam supports the three concentrated loads shown in Fig. P-556. Prove that the NA is 3.5 in. above the bottom and that I_NA = 97.0 in⁴. Then use these values to determine the maximum value of P so that f_bt ≤ 4 ksi and f_bc ≤ 10 ksi.
 

Problem 555
A beam carries a concentrated load W and a total uniformly distributed load of 4W as shown in Fig. P-555. What safe value of W can be applied if f_bc ≤ 100 MPa and f_bt ≤ 60 MPa? Can a greater load be applied if the section is inverted? Explain.
