A masonry terrace of 75 mm concrete surface with 25 mm cement tiles rests on a 75mm×200mm lumber spaced @300mm on centers acting as simple beam with an effective span of 3.6 m. Weight of wood is 7.5 kN/m3 and masonry to be 24kN/m3. Ew=13800 mPa. The allowable stresses are 14 mPa for bending, 0.80 mPa for shear parallel to grain and deflection is 1/360 of span. What is maximum superimposed load that can be carried by the beam?

We have been given three criterias, that is, bending, shear as well as deflection. The maximum…

Question

A masonry terrace of 75 mm concrete surface with 25 mm cement tiles rests on a 75mm×200mm lumber spaced @300mm on centers acting as simple beam with an effective span of 3.6 m. Weight of wood is 7.5 kN/m³ and masonry to be 24kN/m³^. Ew=13800 mPa. The allowable stresses are 14 mPa for bending, 0.80 mPa for shear parallel to grain and deflection is 1/360 of span. What is maximum superimposed load that can be carried by the beam?
