Current Attempt in Progress
A wooden I-beam is fabricated from three pieces of dimension lumber. The cross-sectional dimensions are bf=86mm,tf=42mm,dw=231mm, and tw=42mm. The 1-beam will be used as a simply supported beam to carry a concentrated load P at the center of a 3m span. The wood has an allowable bending stress of 8100kPa and an allowable shear stress of 680kPa. The flanges of the beam are fastened to the web with screws that can safely transmit a force of 750N in direct shear.
(a) If the screws are uniformly spaced at an interval of s=190mm along the span, what is the maximum concentrated load P that can be supported by the beam based on the strength of the screw connections? Demonstrate that the maximum bending and shear stresses produced by P are acceptable,
(b) Determine the magnitude of load P that produces the allowable bending stress in the span (i.e.,b=8100kPa ). What screw spacing s is required to support this load magnitude?
