Q4/ A curved beam of a round cross section is shown in figure 3. The beam is made of a plain carbon steel 30C8 (oy = %3D 400 N/mm2) and the factor of safety is 3.5. Determine the dimensions of the beam

A square tube section has side dimension of 20 in. arid thickness of 0.5 in. If the section is used for a 10-ft-long beam subjected to 1250 kip-in, torque at both ends, calculate the maximum shear stress and the angle of twist between the ends. Use G = 11,600 ksi.

A square wood platform is 8 ft × 8 ft in area and rests on masonry walls (see figure). The deck of the platform is constructed of 2-in. nominal thickness tongue-and-groove planks (actual thickness 1.5 in.; sec Appendix CL) supported on two S-ft long beams. The beams have 4 in. × (i in. nominal dimensions (actual dimensions 3.5 in. × 5.5 in.). The planks arc designed to support a uniformly distributed load n ( lb/ft" i acting over the entire top surface of the platform. I be allowable bending stress for the planks is 2400 psi and the allowable shear stress is 100 psi. W ben analyzing the planks, disregard their weights and assume that their reactions are uniformly distributed over the top surfaces of the supporting beams. (a) Determine the allowable platform load Mr. (lb/ft2) based upon the bending stress in the planks. (b) Determine the allowable platform load if-. (lb/ft-) based upon the shear stress in the planks. (c) Which of the preceding values becomes the allowable load alolow on the platform? Hints: Use care in constructing the loading diagram for the planks, noting especially that the reactions are distributed loads instead of concentrated loads. Also, note that the maximum shear forces occur at the inside faces of the supporting beams.

1. Find the maximum bending stress - and find the factor of safety   2. find with using the general hear formula - shear stress - and find the factor of saefty
