Question: Answer the next eight questions using the following information: A simply supported built - up timber beam of 1 3 ft span will support

Answer the next eight questions using the following information:
A simply supported "built-up" timber beam of 13 ft span will support a uniformly dead load of 60 lbs/ft and live load of 90 lbs/ft distributed over its entire length. The built-up beam will consist of 2x12 sections made from "No.1 Dense Southern Pine timber. Use a cumulative adjustment factor of 0.90 to determine the allowable stresses.
For the above-mentioned built-up beam, the maximum Shear (Vmax) value is:
For the above mentioned built-up timber beam, the maximummoment (Mmax) in lbs-inch is:
The number of 2"x12" sections needed to resist bending failure in the beam is/are:
The required moment of Inertia (Ireq) for this beam is:
What would be the final design for this beam?
For this built-up beam, what would be the "W/D" ratio:
Based on the W/D ratio, would a "built-up" beam be efficient and economical"?
The number of 2"x12" sections needed to resist shear failure in the beam is/are:
