A wooden beam is loaded by a distributed load w = 7 N/mm as shown in Figure Q4(a). The cross-section of the beam is shown in Figure Q4(b). Assume that LAB = 1500 mm, L BC = 3500 mm, W=190 mm, Bo = 30 mm, and H=210 mm, ho=40 mm. Units: use N, mm, MPa as consistent units for all calculations. Decimal points: any decimal points are fine and all the numerical questions have a 10% error tolerance. Steps: Fill the gaps in the "steps" to get some marks from the working- out process. Adaptive marking is still used. (a) (b) hol Bo H B LAB LBC Cross-section W Figure Q4: (a) A wooden beam is loaded by a distributed load, (b) cross-section of the beam.

Measuring carpentry and miscellaneous items

The modification of planning and drawing of the construction project into the various descriptions and quantities to estimate the value, cost, and price of the project is known as measurement. The quantity supervisor produces the details of the quantities to the contractor or subcontractor to measure the cost of the work and determine the profit of the contractor or subcontractor. The measurement of the construction work depends on its type, usage, and stages in the project. In the early stage of the project, the details of the project depend on the general parameters. As the work starts, more information is searched and the details are dependent on the elemental estimates of the work.
