1. A simply supported beam carrying a uniform load has a span of 9.15 m. The beam has adequate lateral supports. The allowable bending stress is 2.41 MPa, modulus of elasticity is 13,790 MPa, and its permissible limit for deflection is 1/360 of span. (a) Determine the depth of the beam so that when allowable stress is reached the deflection of beam is at maximum. (b) If the width of the beam is 300 mm, what total uniform load can it safely support?
