A metal beam with span L =3 ft is simply supported at points A and B. The uniform load on the beam (including its own weight) is q =160 lb/in. The cross section of the beam is rectangular with width b =1 in. and height h =4 in. The beam is adequately supported against sideways buckling. Determine the bending stress in the top and bottom of the beam and maximum shear stress at the neutral axis

Question

A metal beam with span L =3 ft is simply supported at points A and B. The uniform load on the beam (including its own weight) is q =160 lb/in. The cross section of the beam is rectangular with width b =1 in. and height h =4 in. The beam is adequately supported against sideways buckling. Determine the bending stress in the top and bottom of the beam and maximum shear stress at the neutral axis

A
4 in.
q = 160 lb/in.
3 in.
L = 3 ft
¡C
8 in.
B
Transcribed Image Text:A 4 in. q = 160 lb/in. 3 in. L = 3 ft ¡C 8 in. B
1/2 = 2.0
1/2
= 2.0 in.
= 2.0 in.

b = 1.0 in.
1.0 in.
y = 1.0 in.
Transcribed Image Text:1/2 = 2.0 1/2 = 2.0 in. = 2.0 in. с y O b = 1.0 in. 1.0 in. y = 1.0 in.
