Q: A cantilever beam of length L = 2 m supports a load P = 8.0 kN (as shown). The beam is made of wood with cross-sectional dimensions 120 mm x 200 mm. Calculate the shear stresses due to the load P at points located 25 mm, 50 mm, 75 mm, and 100 mm from the top surface of the beam. From these results, plot a graph showing the distribution bottom of shear stresses from top of the beam.

Methods to Determine Vertical Stress

The load applied to the soil is transferred to the underground. The presence of water at soil pores and solid grains above the soil are the primary components that are responsible for the effective load transfer. Due to the load acting, the internal component of the soil or the underground formations undergoes deformations or a tectonic shift. The amount of deformation depends upon the amount of load acting on the soil surface, which indeed, depends on the weight of everything present above the soil. Due to this, the underground soil element develops internal stresses which try to resist the tectonic changes.
