Sheet # 5
Stress Analysis of Beams
Problem One:
Consider the I-beam shown below. The beam is subjected to a bending moment of 50 KN.m. Compare the
maximum stress if the beam is placed horizontally to the maximum stress if the beam is placed vertically.

Problem Two:
Determine the maximum tensile stress and maximum compressive stress due to the load P acting on the simple
beam AB .P=6.2 kN, L=3.2 m, d=1.25 m, b=80 mm, t=25 mm, h=120 mm, and h1=90 mm.

Problem Three:
A beam ABC supports a uniform load of 200 lb/ft throughout its length as shown. The beam has a channel
section with dimensions as shown in the figure.Calculate the maximum tensile stress and maximum
compressive stress due to the uniform load..

Problem Four:
The shown beam is supported by smooth journal bearings at A and B that only exert vertical reactions on the beam.
Determine its smallest diameter d if the allowable bending stress is 180 MPa.

Problem five:
The tubular beam is to have a cross section such that its inner diameter and outer diameter are related by di=0.8do
Determine these required dimensions if the allowable bending stress is 155 MPa.

Problem Six:
The wood beam has a rectangular cross section in the proportion shown. Determine its required dimension b if
the allowable bending stress is sallow = 10 MPa. The support at A is a pinned support.

Problem Seven:
Plot the shear-stress distribution over the cross section of a beam that has a radius c. By what factor is the
maximum shear stress greater than the average shear stress acting over the cross section?

Problem Eight:

The wooden beam has an allowable shear stress of 7 MPa. (a)Determine the maximum shear force V that can be
applied to the cross section. (b) If the cross section is glued together with a glue that can sustain a maximum shear
stress of 3MPa, what is the maximum shear force that can be applied to the cross section.

Problem Nine:
A box beam is constructed from four boards nailed together as shown. If each nail can support a shear force of
30 lb, determine the maximum spacing s of the nails at B and at C so that the beam will support the force of 80 lb.

Assignment
Problem One:
The man has a mass of 78 kg and stands motionless at the end of the diving board. If the board has the cross
section shown, determine the maximum stress developed in the board.

Problem Two:
Nails having a total shear strength of 40 lb are used in a beam that can be constructed either as in Case I or as in
Case II as shown. If the nails are spaced at 9 in., determine the largest vertical shear that can be supported in each
case so that the fasteners will not fail.
