Question: Problem # 4 - Beam Analysis ( 1 5 points total, 4 parts ) A W 2 4 x 7 6 made of A 3

Problem #4- Beam Analysis (15 points total, 4 parts)
A W24x76 made of A36 structural steel with a yield stress of 36 ksi , allowable bending stress limit of 21.6 ksi and shear stress limit of 14.4 ksi and Modulus of Elasticity, E=29,000,000 is subjected to a maximum bending moment of 174 k - ft and a maximum shear force of 51 kips . Show all work and any assumptions clearly. Complete the following:
Part A (4 points): Calculate the bending stress in the beam using the flexure formula. Additionally, calculate the shear stress in the beam using the average web shear approach.
Part B (3 points): Does the calculated bending stress exceed the allowable bending stress and does the calculated shear stress exceed the allowable shear stress?
Part C (5 points): Calculate the Moment Strength (MR) and Shear Strength (VR) of the beam.
Part D (3 points): Determine the adequacy of the beam's design 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?
