Question: Problem # 3 - Beam Analysis ( 2 0 points total, 5 parts ) A W 1 8 x 6 5 made of A 3

Problem #3- Beam Analysis (20 points total, 5 parts)
A W18x65 made of A36 structural steel with a yield stress of 36,000 psi, allowable shear stress limit of 14,400 psi and Modulus of Elasticity, E=29,000,000 psi is subjected to a maximum bending moment of 428k-ft and a maximum shear force of 72kips. Determine the following:
Part A (4 points): Calculate the bending stress in the beam. Additionally, calculate the shear stress in the beam using the average web shear approach.
Part B (4 points): Find the allowable bending stress by applying a factor of safety of 1.67 to the yield stress. The allowable shear stress is given in the problem statement.
Part C (4 points): Does the calculated bending stress exceed the allowable bending stress? Does the calculated shear stress exceed the allowable shear stress?
Part D (4 points): Calculate the Moment Strength (MR) and Shear Strength (VR) of the beam.
Part E (4 points): Determine the adequacy of the beam by comparing the moment strength (MR) vs. maximum bending moment (Mmax) and the shear strength (VR) Vs. the maximum shear force (Vmax). Does the beam fail in bending and/or shear?
