Question: Problem 1 : A laminated wood beam on simple supports is built up by gluing together 2 i n . x 4 i n .

Problem 1:
A laminated wood beam on simple supports is built up by gluing together 2in.x4in. and 3in.x4in. boards (actual dimension) to form a solid beam 4in.x8in. cross-section, as shown un figure below. The beam is 12 ft long and is subjected to a load P at the one-third point along the beam. The wood has a weight density of 35lbft3. The allowable shear stress in the wood is 175 psi, the allowable bending stress in the wood is 1650 psi, and allowable shear stress in the glue joints is 62 psi. Determine:
a. The allowable load P based on the wood shear strength.
b. The allowable load P based on the wood bending strength.
c. The allowable load P based on the glue shear strength.
