Question: Problem # 3 - Beam Analysis ( 2 0 points total, 5 parts ) A W 1 8 x 6 5 made of A 3
Problem # Beam Analysis points total, parts
A Wx made of A structural steel with a yield stress of psi, allowable shear stress limit of psi and Modulus of Elasticity, psi is subjected to a maximum bending moment of and a maximum shear force of kips. Determine the following:
Part A points: Calculate the bending stress in the beam. Additionally, calculate the shear stress in the beam using the average web shear approach.
Part B points: Find the allowable bending stress by applying a factor of safety of to the yield stress. The allowable shear stress is given in the problem statement.
Part C points: Does the calculated bending stress exceed the allowable bending stress? Does the calculated shear stress exceed the allowable shear stress?
Part D points: Calculate the Moment Strength MR and Shear Strength VR of the beam.
Part E 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 andor shear?
