-14 A simply supported composite beam with a 3.6 m span supports a triangularly distributed load of peak intensity q0at mid-span (see figure part a). The beam is constructed of two wood joists, each 50 mm x 280 mm, fastened to two steel plates, one of dimensions 6 mm × 80 mm and the lower plate of dimensions 6 mm x 120mm (see figure part b).

Two flat beams AB and CD, lying in horizontal planes, cross at right angles and jointly support a vertical load P at their midpoints (see figure). Before the load P is applied, the beams just touch each other. Both beams are made of the same material and have the same widths. Also, the ends of both beams are simply supported. The lengths of beams AB and CD are LABand LCD, respectively. What should be the ratio tABltCDof the thicknesses of the beams if all four reactions arc to be the same?
A hollow box beam is constructed with webs of Douglas-fir plywood and flanges of pine, as shown in the figure in a cross-sectional view. The plywood is 1 in. thick and 12 in. wide; the flanges are 2 in. × 4 in. (nominal size). The modulus of elasticity for the plywood is 1,800,000 psi and for the pine is 1,400,000 psi. If the allowable stresses are 2000 psi for the plywood and 1750 psi for the pine, find the allowable bending moment Mmaxwhen the beam is bent about the z axis.

A W 12 x 50 steel wide-flange beam and a segment of a 4-inch thick concrete slab (see figure) jointly resist a positive bending moment of 95 kip-ft.

The moduli of elasticity of the steel and the concrete are in the ratio 12 to 1. Determine the maximum stresses r1 and xtin the steel and concrete, respectively. Note: See Table F-l(a) of Appendix F for the dimensions and properties of the steel beam.
