A composite beam is made of steel (Est = 300 GPa)and wood (Ew = 15 GPa) materials as shown in Figure 3. The beam is subjected to a positive bending moment (about z-axis from bottom to top) of 60 kN.m. Determine the followings: a) The transformation factor, n.  b) The width of steel part transformed to wood and draw the transformed section.  c) The distances h1 and h2.

A composite beam is made of steel (Est = 300 GPa)and wood (Ew = 15 GPa) materials as shown in Figure 3. The beam is subjected to a positive bending moment (about z-axis from bottom to top) of 60 kN.m. Determine the followings:
a) The transformation factor, n. 
b) The width of steel part transformed to wood and draw the transformed
section. 
c) The distances h1 and h2. 
d) Moment of inertia, I of the transformed section. 
e) The largest tensile and compressive stresses in the wood material. 

f) The maximum and minimum tensile stresses in the steel material.
