10-1-1 Find the maximum shear stress in the beams and
cross-sections shown

Transcribed Image Text:### Shear Stress Analysis in Beams and Cross-Sections
#### Problem Statement:
**10-1-1 and 10-1-2**: Find the maximum shear stress in the beams and cross-sections shown.
#### Diagram Explanation:
1. **Beam A**:
- The left diagram shows a simply supported beam.
- The beam span is 16 feet, with an 8 feet span between supports on both sides.
- There is a uniformly distributed load of 5 kips per foot (5k/ft) over the entire span.
- Additionally, there is a point load of 12 kips at the center of the beam span (8 feet from each support).
2. **Beam B**:
- The right diagram shows another beam, which is also simply supported.
- This beam has a span divided into three segments: 10 feet, 5 feet, and 5 feet.
- There is a uniformly distributed load of 3 kips per foot (3k/ft) over the 10-foot segment.
- Additionally, there are point loads of 10 kips each at the end of the second 5 feet segment (both loads acting downward).
3. **Cross-Sectional Shapes**:
- For Beam A: The cross-sectional dimensions of the beam are given; height is 13.25 inches, and the width is 5.5 inches.
- For Beam B: The cross-section provided is a W 21 x 55 section, which is a standard designation for a structural steel I-beam, where 21 inches is the nominal depth and 55 is the weight per foot in pounds.
#### Objective:
- Calculate the maximum shear stress in both beams A and B.
- Consider the given cross-sectional dimensions to determine the stress distribution.
By analyzing the shear forces at critical points in the beams and using the relationship of shear stress within the given cross-sections, you can determine the maximum shear stresses needed for structural analysis and design.
