Explanation Given information: The wide-flange beam acts as a cantilever. It is installed at an angle θ with the vertical. The W 10 × 15 beam is made of an A992 steel. The applied load is P = 1.5 kip . The Length of the beam is L = 12 ft . The vertical angle is θ = 10 ° . Calculation: The Modulus of elasticity of A992 steel is E = 29 , 000 ksi . The moment of inertia for the W 10 × 15 beam is I x = 68.9 in 4 and I y = 2.89 in 4 . Sketch the components as shown in Figure 1. Refer to Figure 1. Resolve the moment into components in terms of θ as shown below. Along x direction, x max = ( P sin θ ) L 3 3 E I y (1) Here, P is the applied load, θ is the angle, L is the length of the beam, E is the modulus of elasticity, and I y is the moment of inertia about y axis. Along y direction, y max = ( P cos θ ) L 3 3 E I x (2) Here, I x is the moment of inertia about x axis. Find the ratio of the deflection in x direction to the deflection in y direction at A as shown below. x max y max = ( P sin θ ) L 3 3 E I y ( P cos θ ) L 3 3 E I x = ( P sin θ ) L 3 3 E I y × 3 E I x ( P cos θ ) L 3 = I x sin θ I y cos θ = I x I y tan θ Hence, the ratio of the deflection at A is I x I y tan θ _

Slope and Deflection

The slope in a deflected beam is described as an angle in radians made by the tangent of the section with the original axis of the beam. The deflection at any point on the axis of the beam is defined as the lateral displacement of the point before and af…
