Two steel plates (A572, Fy = 50 ksi) are welded together to form an inverted T-beam. Determine the maximum bending stress developed. Also determine the maximum shear stress at the neutral axis of the cross-section and at the intersection where the stem joins the flange. Ignore the weight of the steel plates.

Transcribed Image Text:### Structural Diagram and Analysis
#### Diagram Descriptions
1. **Cross-Sectional View**:
- Two steel plates are shown, one measuring 1" x 8" and the other 1" x 6".
- The section is welded on each side.
- The centroidal axis, indicated by "N.A." (neutral axis), features dimensions that measure 5.93 inches vertically and 3.07 inches horizontally.
- The moment of inertia about the x-axis (\(Ix\)) is given as 113.2 in.\(^4\).
2. **Beam Loading Diagram**:
- A beam supports two concentrated loads: 5 kips (k) and 10 kips.
- The beam spans 20 feet, supported at both ends (5 feet from each end).
3. **Shear Force and Bending Moment Diagrams**:
- **Shear Force Diagram (V)**:
- At support A, the reaction force is 6.25 kips.
- The diagram progresses linearly, starting at +6.25 kips, decreasing to +1.25 kips, then down to -8.75 kips just before support B.
- At support B, the reaction force is 8.75 kips.
- **Bending Moment Diagram (M)**:
- The moment starts at zero and increases linearly to +31.25 kip-ft at the point where the 5 kip load is applied.
- Between the loads, the moment decreases linearly and reaches a maximum of +43.75 kip-ft.
- The diagram returns to zero at support B.
These diagrams collectively illustrate the structural behavior under given load conditions, demonstrating the bending and shear forces that influence the beam design.
