Repeat Problem 6.2-1 but now assume that the steel plate is smaller (0.5 in. × 5 in.) and is aligned with the top of the beam as shown in the figure.
Problem 6.2-1
A composite beam is constructed using a steel plate (0.5 in X 6 in.) with two wood beams (3 in. X 6 in.) on either side. The wood and steel are securely fastened to act as a single beam. The beam is subjected to a positive bending moment Mz = 60 kip-in. Calculate the maximum tensile and compressive stresses in the wood and steel if Ew = 1500 ksi and Es = 29,500 ksi.
