Design Example

The document provides examples for calculating stresses and required dimensions of beams under different loading conditions. It includes determining maximum tensile and compressive stresses in a T-section beam, required depth for given allowable stresses, new load values for simultaneous allowable stresses, stresses in a cantilever beam with a hole, maximum load and nail spacing in an overhang beam constructed from wood pieces.

MODULE 5B: BEAMS DESIGN EXAMPLE

Situation 1) A beam of T-section is supported and loaded as shown in the figure. Situation 3) The beam is made of timber that has an allowable bending stress of 6.5 MPa
and an allowable shear stress of 500 kPa. Determine its dimensions if it is to be rectangular
and have a height-to-width ratio of 1.25. Assume the beam rests on smooth supports.

A) Determine the maximum tensile and compressive stresses in the beam.


B) If the allowable stresses in tension and compression are 124 MPa and 82 MPa, Situation 4) As shown, the overhang beam is constructed using two 50-mm by 100-mm
respectively, what is the required depth h of the beam? Assume that thickness t pieces of wood braced. If the allowable bending stress is 4.2 MPa, determine the largest load
remains at 13mm and that flange width b = 65mm. P that can be applied. Also, determine the associated maximum spacing of nails, s, along the
C) Find the new values of loads P and q so that allowable tension (124 MPa) and beam section AC to the nearest 5 mm if each nail can resist a shear force of 4 kN. Assume
compression (82 MPa) stresses are reached simultaneously for the beam. Use the the beam is pin-connected at A, B, and D. Neglect the axial force developed in the beam
beam cross-section in part (a) (see figure) and assume that L 1, L2, and L3 are along DA.
unchanged.

Situation 2) A cantilever beam AB with a rectangular cross-section has a longitudinal hole


drilled throughout its length (see figure). The beam supports a load P=600N. The cross-
section is 25 mm wide and 50 mm high, and the hole has a diameter of 10 mm. Find the
bending stresses at the top of the beam, at the top of the hole, and at the bottom of the
beam.
