Question: A single - span timber joist supports one concentrated load as shown in Figure 4 . A ) Determine if the 4 1 6 wood

A single-span timber joist supports one concentrated load as shown in
Figure 4.
A) Determine if the 416 wood joist is adequate for bending and
deflections (LL and DL+LL).
Given:
Point dead load, PDL=600lbs
Point dead load, PLL=1100lbs
Allowable bending stress, Fb=1725 psi
Modulus of Elasticity (Young's modulus),E=1,900ksi
Deflection limits:
DL+LL: L/240
LL: L/360
Assume the section profile is compact and the joist is adequately
braced.
Figure 4- Beam Diagram
Figure 5-Joist Profile
Parameters:
L=20ft(span)
a=3.5 in (design width)
b=13.25 in (design depth)
Hint:
A=a*b
I=a*b312
,S=a*b26
