Question: 5 . 1 0 - 9 A simple beam with an overhang supports a uniform load of intensity q = 1 2 0 0 l

5.10-9 A simple beam with an overhang supports a uniform load of intensity q=1200
lbft and a concentrated P=3000lb load at 8ft to the right of A and also at C(see
figure). The uniform load includes an allowance for the weight of the beam. The
allowable stresses in bending and shear are 18ksi and 11ksi, respectively.
Select from Table F-2(a), Appendix F, the lightest I-beam (S shape) that will support the
given loads.
Hint: Select a beam based upon the bending stress and then calculate the maximum shear
stress. If the beam is overstressed in shear, select a heavier beam and repeat.
