CE 301 - Civil Engineering Systems Lab 2 - Beam Bending Page 7 of 7 Report Requirements Your report should follow the format given in the Lab Curriculum and include the following information: A summary of the background theory and purpose for this lab (introduction*) A thorough description of the procedures and equipment used in data collection (experimental procedures*) A plot of load vs. deflection with linear trendlines for the wood beam tests and a plot of load vs. deflection with linear trendlines for the metal beams (experimental data and discussion*) A table presenting the modulus of elasticity found in each test. Response to the following questions: (experimental data and discussion*) o Which beam has the largest bending stiffness (k)? Which beam has the smallest bending stiffness (k)? o Which beam has the largest modulus of elasticity (E)? Which beam has the smallest modulus of elasticity (E)? o Is the beam with the largest modulus of elasticity also the stiffest? If not, what is the reason for that? o Among the wooden beams which one has the largest bending stiffness (k)? Given that the wooden beams have the exact same dimensions, what is the reason for one being stiffer than
