Problem Set PS$2$

Beams and Girders

Problem Statement

Please perform the computations required to solve Problems $1-4$ for the beam shown below:

$50\mathrm{.}000$ #

What are the reactions, $R_A$ and $R_D$

What is the maximum moment, $M_{\text{m}\text{a}\text{x}}$

What is the maximum shear, $V_{\text{m}\text{a}\text{x}}?$

Given an allowable bending stress, $F_b=30,000$ psi for the A$992$ steel beam shown below, what is

the required section modulus, $Sx$ for the beam shown above.

Check the shear stress for the beam shown above. The allowable shear stress, Fv $=0\mathrm{.}4Fy.$

Please perform all calculations on the official computation sheets for this course. Apply the format for

solving computational problems. Show all work and highlight the required answers. All work shall be neatly

and professionally performed in pencil $($drafting pencil preferred$)$ using a straightedge and the appropriate

drafting templates as required. This assignment shall be completed individually and independently. Each

individual shall submit a complete, professional deliverable.
