Question: You have been assigned to construct the angled ( 9 0 o at points C and E ) beam ABCDEF. This beam should rest on

You have been assigned to construct the angled (90o at points C and E) beam ABCDEF. This beam should rest on a joint at point B and on a rod FG which is connected at both ends to the ABCDEF beam at end F and to a joint in a vertical wall at end G, as shown in the figure below. The angled beam ABCDEF shall be loaded in the vertical plane of symmetry
by: a) two uniformly distributed loads: one 5,5 kN/m
from point C to a distance of 1.6 m, and the other 3 kN/m from point A to point B, b) by two vertically downward concentrated loads of 6.8 kN at point A and 4.8 kN at point B, and c) by a concentrated horizontal load of 7.5 kN at point D. This beam is to be constructed with one of the cross-sections shown at the bottom of figure A where the dimensions are in centimetres. Assuming that the hinge at B is applied exactly at the centre of gravity of the beam cross-section at point B, calculate the maximum normal and maximum shear stress that
developed in all the necessary cross-sections that can be made to compare with: a) the allowable tensile stress equal to 190 MPa, b) the allowable compressive stress equal to 120 MPa and c) the allowable shear stress equal to 108 MPa. Do not consider principal stresses.
