![An engineer is designing a beam to support a flooring system above it, as well as two walls. The beam will be a T-section, though the engineer is considering the idea
of combining timber and steel to create a composite member for the application.
The dimensions of the T-section beam are shown below:

Flange (horizontal section of cross-section):
.by = 340 mm
• ty = 15 mm
Web (vertical section of cross-section):

• d = 340 mm
• t = 15 mm

The loading of the beam can be modelled as the following free-body diagram, where P = 20 kN represents the dead load of each wall, and to = 4 kN/m represents the dead load of the
flooring uniformly distributed over the span of the beam

The length of the beam is L = 8 m.
The engineer will consider the stresses developed at the mid-span of the beam. The following beams will be considered: 1. all timber (flange + web), 2. a composite
beam consisting of a steel flange and timber web, and 3. a composite beam consisting of a timber flange and steel web.
The Young's moduli of each material may be given by:
• Steel: E, 200 GPa
• Timber: E, = 25 GPa
In all cases, assume both materials remain linear elastic under the loading.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fb467d1f7-cbdd-43bb-944f-128ac8a58b10%2F1455b8c2-eb7c-4c8f-af2d-0dfe4cbc4bed%2Ffekt1ea_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
