Transcribed Image Text:### Structural Analysis of a W8x35 Beam
#### Beam Cross-Section and Dimensions
The image on the left displays a diagram of a W8x35 I-beam cross-section with the following dimensions:
- **Flange Width (\(b_f\))**: 8.02 inches
- **Flange Thickness (\(t_f\))**: 0.495 inches
- **Web Thickness (\(t_w\))**: 0.310 inches
- **Depth (\(d\))**: 8.12 inches
Additional properties of the beam include:
- **Moment of Inertia (\(I_x\))**: 127 in\(^4\)
- **Section Modulus (\(S_x\))**: 31.2 in\(^3\)
- **Depth (\(d\))**: 8.12 inches
- **Distance to the Center (\(c\))**: 4.06 inches
#### Beam and Load Diagram
The upper right section of the image illustrates a simply supported beam subjected to two types of loads:
- A **concentrated load (P = 6k)** applied at a point 4 feet from support A.
- A **uniformly distributed load (w = 3k/ft)** over an 8-foot section between points B and C.
The supports are located at points A and C.
#### Shear Force (\(V\)) and Bending Moment (\(M\)) Diagrams
The diagram on the bottom right provides the shear force and bending moment diagrams for the beam:
- **Shear Force (\(V\)) Diagram**:
- Begins at +36 kips at A.
- Changes linearly, crossing zero at the point of load application.
- Maximum positive shear of +24 kips and negative shear of -24 kips are observed.
- **Bending Moment (\(M\)) Diagram**:
- The moment starts at zero at both supports A and C.
- Maximum positive moment is 54 kip-ft, occurring between A and B.
- The moment becomes negative under the distributed load reaching a maximum negative value of -24 kip-ft.
This detailed analysis is essential for understanding stress distribution and designing structurally sound beams in engineering applications.
