Midterm PS 1

Situation 1. Situation 4.

A laminated beam is composed of three planks, each A cantilever beam 3m long has its end resting on a rigid
150mmx60mm glued together to form a section 150mm support and carry a total uniform load of 9.81 N/m. Its
wide by 180mm high. The beam has a span 0f 2m. section is in the form of an I-beam framed by four 50mm x
Allowable stresses: 200mm planks as shown.

Shear stress in the glue = 600 kPa


Shear stress in wood = 900 kPa
Flexural stress in wood = 8 MPa

allowable shear stress in the glue is not to be
exceeded.
2. Find the uniform load which can be carried if the
allowable shear stress in wood is not to be
exceeded.
3. Find the uniform load which can be carried if the
allowable flexural stress is not to be exceeded. 1. Compute the moment of inertia at the neutral
axis of the beam.
Situation 2. 2. Compute the additional concentrated load that
A simply supported timber beam with the cross-section the beam could carry at its mid span so as not
shown carries a uniformly distributed loading of intensity to exceed the allowable bending stress of
6kN/m over its length L. 12MPa.
3. Compute the additional concentrated load that
1. Find the value of L for which Fbmax = the beam could carry as its midspan so as not
8Fvmax. to exceed the allowable shearing stress of 0.82
2. Find the corresponding value of Fbmax. MPa.
3. Find the corresponding value of Fvmax.
Situation 5.

A 100mm x 250mm timber beam has a span of 4.80m and


carries a uniform load of 12 kN/m including its own weight.

For wood:

excluding its own weight of 2.5kPa and a live load of 2kPa. 2. Which of the following gives the width of a steel
The joist has a simple span of 3.6m. Weight of wood is plate 8mm in thickness which will be reinforced to
7.5kN/m3. the top and bottom surface of the wooden section to
sufficiently carry the load.
Allowable stresses: 3. Which of the following gives the shear stress at the
Bending = 15.8 MPa inner surface of timber and steel.
Shear = 0.90 MPa
Modulus of Elasticity of Wood = 13,800 MPa
Allowable deflection = (1/300)span

Assume no impact allowance for live load.
