Question: ( 3 ) A timber beam ( simply supported span = 8 feet, cross - section ( width x depth ) = 1 0 inch

(3) A timber beam (simply supported span =8 feet, cross-section (width x depth)=
10 inch 12 inch) is loaded with two concentrated load (magnitude of each concentrated load =100lb., two point loading). Deflectometer connected at midspan shows a reading of 20(each small division of deflectometer =0.001 inch). What will be the modulus of elasticity & bending stiffness (flexural rigidity) of the beam material?
(4) A steel I-beam (simply supported span =8 feet, flange =20 inch width x1 inch thickness, web =24 inch depth 1 inch thickness, modulus of elasticity =29103ksi ) is loaded with two-point loading. What will be the maximum value of concentrated load if
(i) deflection will not exceed 0.0025 inch.
(ii) allowable bending stress in tension is 40ksi& allowable bending stress in compression 30ksi.
(iii) deflection will not exceed 0.001 inch and bending stress is not allowed to exceed 40ksi (both in tension and compression).
( 3 ) A timber beam ( simply supported span = 8
