Question: A simply supported horizontal beam is 1 . 5 m long and has a cross - sectional size of b = 5 0 ,

A simply supported horizontal beam is 1.5 m long and has a cross-sectional size of b =50\,\text{mm} and h =100\,\text{mm}. The beam is loaded with vertical point loads P =5\,\text{kN} at 0.5 m and 1.0 m from the supports. The beam is also subjected to an axial tensile load of 40 kN, acting at both ends, 25 mm above the cross-sections centroid.
(a) Determine and draw the normal stress distribution over the cross-sectional surface at the midpoint.
(b) At what eccentricity (measured from the centroid) does the compressive stress at the top of the
beam vanish for the axial load?
Answers: and I want to know why
6-13(a)k: =-10MPa
, uk: =26MPa (:Iz=4.17*10-6m4
A simply supported horizontal beam is 1 . 5 m
