Question: Problem 5 . 4 . A No . 1 grade of Douglas fir - larch is to be used for a series of floor beams

Problem 5.4.A No.1 grade of Douglas fir-larch is to be used for a series of floor beams 6 ft on center, spanning 14 ft . If the total uniformly distributed load on each beam, including the beam weight, is 3200 lb , select the section with the least cross-sectional area based on bending stress.
Problem 5.4.B A simple beam of Hem Fir, select structural grade, has a span of 18 ft with two concentrated loads of 4 kips each placed at the third points of the span. Neglecting its own weight, determine the size of the beam with the least cross-sectional area based on bending stress.
Problem 5.4.6 Rafters are to be used on 24-in. centers for a roof span of 16 ft . Live load is 20 psf (without snow) and the dead load is 15 psf , including the weight of the rafters. Find the rafter size required for Douglas fir-larch of (a) No.1 grade and (b) No.2 grade, based on bending stress.
