Question
A simple span beam, made up of Hem Fir No. 1 grade) supports a uniformly distributed load of
12 kips.
a) Compute the shear force (V).
b) Using the force computed in part a, and the allowable shear force parallel to grain (fv)
shown in the tables in Chapter 5, compute the required cross sectional area.
c) Use the area from part b (and Table A.8) to determine the required nominal cross-
sectional dimensions of the beam. Assume the beam will have a nominal width of 8” (i.e.
8" x ??)
