Problem 1.
A 120 mm x 300 mm rectangular beam carries a uniformly distributed loadof “W” kN/m
over its entire span. The beam is freely supported at its ends. If the max. allowable
bending stress is 8.27 MPa and simultaneously the max. allowable shearing stress is
0.70 MPa.
b. Which of the following gives the value of the span of the beam?
with an effective span of 3 m. The total floor load transmitted to the joist is 5 kPa.
A timber beam having a simple span of 157.48 in. carries a total load including its own
weight of 10 kN/m. It has a width of 200 mm and a depth of 260 mm, used dressed
