A corbel made from timber transfers a 25,000lb beam reaction force to a timber column. Suppose that the allowable shearing stress parallel to wood grain is 100 psi, and the allowable bearing stress parallel to the grain is 500 psi . The bearing stress between the beam and the corbel is limited to 400 psi. Check the adequacy of this simple beam to column connection (15 pts). Calculate a new height or width if necessary (10 pts ).
