6. A laminated beam is composed of five planks, each 6 in. by 2 in., glued together to form a section 6
in. wide by 10 in. high. The allowable shear stress in the glue is 90 psi, the allowable shear stress in
the wood is 120 psi, and the allowable flexural stress in the wood is 1200 psi. Determine: (a)
uniformly distributed load considering the shear stress of wood. (b) uniformly distributed load
considering the bending stress of wood (c) the maximum uniformly distributed load that can be
carried by the beam on a 6-ft simple span.

7. A simply supported solid timber beam with a rectangular cross-section has the following
dimensions: width = 10 inches, height = 20 inches. The allowable bending stress for the wood is
1300 psi, and the allowable shear stress is 170 psi. The beam has a span of 14 ft.
Determine:
(a) The maximum uniformly distributed load the beam can carry without exceeding the allowable
bending stress.
(b) The maximum uniformly distributed load the beam can carry without exceeding the allowable
shear stress.
(c) The deflection of the beam under the maximum uniformly distributed load, using the modulus
of elasticity for wood, 𝐸=1,600,000 psi

8. A solid timber beam has a rectangular cross-section of width b = 10in., and height h=12 in. The
beam is simply supported with a span of L=16 ft. The allowable bending stress is 1200 psi, and
the allowable shear stress is 150psi.
Determine:
(a) The maximum concentrated load P that can be applied at the midspan without exceeding the
allowable bending stress.
(b) The maximum concentrated load P that can be applied at the midspan without exceeding the
allowable shear stress.

9. A rectangular timber beam has dimensions of b=12 in. and h=30 in. The beam is simply
supported over a span of L=20 ft. The allowable bending stress is 1500 psi, and the allowable
shear stress is 200 psi.
Determine:
(a) The maximum bending moment the beam can resist without exceeding the allowable
bending stress.
(b) The maximum shear force the beam can resist without exceeding the allowable shear stress.
(c) The maximum uniformly distributed load www that the beam can safely carry, considering
both bending and shear stresses.

10. A timber beam 4 m long is simply supported at both ends. It carries a uniform load of 10 kN/m
including its own weight. The wooden section has a width of 200 mm and a depth of 260 mm
and is made up of 80% grade Apitong. Use dressed dimension by reducing its dimensions by 10
mm.
Properties of Apitong
Bending and tension parallel to grain = 16.5 MPa
Shear parallel to grain = 1.73 MPa
Modulus of elasticity in bending = 7.31 GPa

a. What is the maximum flexural stress of the beam?


b. What is the maximum shearing stress of the beam?
c. What is the maximum deflection of the beam?
