Question
PROBLEM 6:A wooden log is to be used as a foot bridge to span a 2 m. gap. The log is to support
to a concentrated load of 27 kN.
Allowable Shear Stress = 1.2 MPa
Allowable Bending Stress = 6.3 MPa
1.) What is the diameter of the log needed for a maximum shear?
2.) Find the diameter of the log needed so that the allowable bending stress is not exceeded.
3.) A 150 wide re ctangular log is to be used instead of the drcular log. What is the required
minimum depth of the log so as not to exceed the allowable bending stre ss?
