A W 200 x 41.7 wide-flange beam (see Table F-l(b), Appendix F) is simply supported with a span length of 2.5 m (see figure). The beam supports a concentrated load of 100 kN at 0.9 m from support B. At a cross section located 0,7 m from the left-hand support, determine the principal stresses tr, and

To find: Values of maximum stress and principal shear stress at top of beam.
Answer to Problem 8.4.16P
Values of principal stress :
Maximum shear stress
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
Beam length
Point load
Dimensions of beam,
Concept Used:
Bending stress
Shear stress
