Transcribed Image Text:Part 2: Beam analysis
The timber beam in Figure 2 is simply supported at points A and E. The cross-section of the beam changes
from segment AC to CE, as shown below. The Young's modulus of timber may be taken as 12 GPa. The
load, geometry and cross-sections of the beam will be instructed to each student in class.
