AW16x36 steel wide-flange beam on a 12-ft span is supported and loaded as shown. Calculate the maximum bending stress.
150 lb/ft
A
6 ft

Expert Solution

Step 1

Beam :- An important function of a beam as a structural component is to resist loads that are applied laterally to its axis. Its primary method of deflection is bending. Reaction forces are produced at the beam's support points as a result of the loads placed on it.

Given Data :

Width (b)= 16 ft

Depth (d)= 36 ft

overall span of the beam = 12 ft

Bending stress $(σ_{b}) = \frac{M_{m a x}}{z}$
