Question
The beam in the figure carries a uniform load of 20 kN/m including its own weight, a concentrated load of 400 kN at 2.4 m from the left support and another concentrated load at 280 kNat 1.2 m from right end. The beam is laterally unsupported except at the two vertical ends. The beam is to be made of W 16 x 77. Use AISC Specifications for A36 steel Fy= 248.69 MPa.
a. Determine the maximum bending moment of the beam.
b. Determine the maximum or actual flexural stress of the beam.
c. Determine the allowable flexural stress of the beam.
d. Is it safe to use the said steel as beam? Why?
