A floor joist consists of a 2" x 10" No. 2 Southern Pine (Fa = 800 psi). The joists are spaced at 24" on center. The beam is subjected to a dead load of 20 lb/ft including beam weight and a live load of 60 lb/ft. If the length of the beam is 14 ft, determine the actual stress due to the loads on the beam, and if the section is adequate for the loads being carried.
For the beam and loading shown, design the cross section of the beam, knowing that the grade of timber used has an allowable normal stress of 12 MPa.
