Problem brief. #1 A rectangular steel beam with an overall length of L m is simply supported at each end. At mid section the beam carries a point load of T tonnes. The mass of the beam constitutes a udl with a value of w Kg/m. If:- a. The beam is classed as simply supported b. Young's modulus of elasticity E for the material is 200 GPa C. The Tensile strength (UTS) beam = TS N/mm For P2. Provide a full set of calculations using the data given below to find:- a. the maximum stress due to bending b. the factor of safety in operation the minimum radius of curvature For the same design find the maximum load which may be carried at mid min. 7. For M2. For the same design find the maximum load which may be carried at mid section and the percentage increase in the point load if both the width and depth of the section are increased by 15%. This can be assumed to cause a 32.25% increase in the mass per metre value of the udl w. All other (non-associated) factors to remain the same.
