Problem 5

This document contains descriptions of 7 engineering problems involving beams and stresses. Problem 5 describes a simply supported beam with a 9m span under a uniform load. It provides allowable stress values and asks to determine beam depth for a given deflection or safe uniform load. Problem 6 describes a wooden footbridge with 10m span between supports that must withstand a 6 kN/m uniform load. It asks for log diameters if bending or shear controls. Problem 17 describes a glued wooden beam under a 450 N.m moment and asks for section properties and forces. Problems 20 and 21 provide shear values for T-beams and a composite beam and ask for stress, force and section property calculations.

shearing stress governs for a width of 250 mm.

bending stress governs for the same width.
