A +7.5% grade meets a horizontal grade on a section of a rural mountainous highway. If the length of the crest vertical curve formed in that section is 300 ft long, determine the safe operating speed on the highway.
A sawn timber beam of dimensions 8"x14" has is required for a span of 16 ft. The uniformly
distributed loads are Dead (D) = 350 lbs./ft and live (L) = 400 lbs./ft. The dead load includes
the beam self-weight and lateral torsional buckling is prevented. The beam is to be used in
an indoor environment (MC > 19º) in normal temperatures. Using Caribbean Pitch Pine
(Select Structural), check that the section chosen is adequate.
