Chapter5.4 Unsymmetrical Beams

The document describes a problem involving determining the maximum uniformly distributed load (wo) that a simply supported beam can support before exceeding given stresses. The beam has an inverted T cross-section. The solution shows calculating the maximum moments and corresponding stresses in the beam for different values of wo. It is determined that for the stresses to not be exceeded, wo must be less than or equal to 6 kN/m.

Problem 548

The inverted T section of a 4-m simply supported beam has the properties shown in Fig.
P-548. The beam carries a uniformly distributed load of intensity wo over its entire
length. Determine wo if fbt ≤ 40 MPa and fbc ≤ 80 MPa.

Solution 548

Mmax=81woL2
Mmax=81wo(42)
Mmax=2wo

Mr=yfbI

Mt=8040(30 106)
Mt=15000000N mm
Mt=15kN m

Mc=20080(30 106)
Mc=12000000N mm
Mc=12kN m
 

The section is stronger in tension and weaker in compression, so compression governs in


selecting the maximum moment.

Mmax=Mr
2wo=12
wo=6kN/m answer

Problem 550

Resolve Prob. 549 if the maximum moments are +2.5P lb·ft and −5.0P lb·ft.

Solution 550

At M = +2.5P
Mc=2 510(192)(1000) upper fiber
2 5P=768000lb in
2 5P=64000lb ft
P=25600lb

Mt=44(192)(1000) lower fiber


2 5P=192000lb in
2 5P=16000lb ft
P=6400lb

At M = −5.0P lb·ft
Mc=410(192)(1000) lower fiber
5 0P=480000lb in
5 0P=40000lb ft
P=8000lb

Mt=2 54(192)(1000) upper fiber


5 0P=307200lb in
5 0P=25600lb ft
P=5120lb

Use P = 5 120 lb answer


Problem 552

A cantilever beam carries the force and couple shown in Fig. P-552. Determine the
maximum tensile and compressive bending stresses developed in the beam.

Solution 552

R=5kip
M=5(8)−30
M=10kip ft

fb=IMy

At M = +10 kip·ft of moment diagram


fbc=9010(6)(12)=8ksi upper fiber
fbt=9010(2)(12)=2 67ksi lower fiber

At M = −20 kip⋅ft of moment diagram


fbc=9020(2)(12)=5 33ksi lower fiber
fbt=9020(6)(12)=16ksi upper fiber

Maximum bending stresses:


fbc=8ksi answer
fbt=16ksi answer
Problem 554

Determine the maximum tensile and compressive stresses developed in the overhanging
beam shown in Fig. P-554. The cross-section is an inverted T with the given properties.

Solution 554

MR2=0
12R1=1600(15)+4000(6)
R1=4000lb

MR1=0
12R2+1600(3)=4000(6)
R2=1600lb

fb=IMy

At M = −4800 lb·ft
fbc=844800(2)(12)
fbc=1371 43psi lower fiber

fbt=844800(7)(12)
fbt=4800psi upper fiber

 
At M = +9600 lb·ft
fbc=849600(7)(12)
fbc=9600psi upper fiber

fbt=844800(2)(12)
fbt=2742 86psi lower fiber

Maximum flexure stress:


fbc=9600psi       answer
fbt=4800psi       answer

Problem 556

A T beam supports the three concentrated loads shown in Fig. P-556. Prove that the NA
is 3.5 in. above the bottom and that INA = 97.0 in4. Then use these values to determine the
maximum value of P so that fbt ≤ 4 ksi and fbc ≤ 10 ksi.

 
Solution 556

A1=9(4)=36in2
A2=9(1 5)(2)=27in2
A3=1(1 5)(2)=3in2
A=A1−A2+A3=36−27+3A=12in2

Ay = Any
12y =36(4 5)−27(4 5)+3(0 5)
y =3 5in (ok!)

Ix= 3bh3  
Ix=34(93)−2 31 5(93)+2 31 5(13)
Ix=244in4

By transfer formula for moment of inertia:


Ix=INA+Ad2
244=INA+12(3 5)2
INA=97in4 (ok!)

 
By symmetry:
R1=R2=2 5P

fb=IMy

At M = −4P lb·ft

Lower fiber is in compression:


10000=974P(3 5)(12)
P=5773 81lb

Upper fiber is in tension:


4000=974P(9−3 5)(12)
P=1469 7lb

At M = 5P lb·ft
Lower fiber is in tension:
4000=974P(3 5)(12)
P=2309 52lb

Upper fiber is in compression


10000=974P(9−3 5)(12)
P=3674 24lb

For safe value of P, use P = 1469.7 lb answer

Problem 558

In Prob. 557, find the values of x and wo so that wo is a maximum.

Solution 558

From Solution 557, tension governs at both positive and negative maximum moments.
 

At M = −0.5wo x2 N·m:
20=36 1060 5wox2(180)(1000)
wo=8000 x2 

At M = −0.5wo x2 + 0.5wo(5 − x)2 N·m:


20=36 106[0 5wox2+0 5wo(5−x)2](50)(1000)
14400=−0 5wox2+0 5wo(5−x)2
28800=−wox2+wo(5−x)2
28800=−wox2+wo(25−10x+x2)
28800=−wox2+(25−10x)wo+wox2
28800=(25−10x)wo
28800=(25−10x)(8000 x2) 
(28800x2 8000)=25−10x 
518x2=25−10x
18x2=125−50x
18x2+50x−125=0
x=1 59 m and −4 37(absurd)

use x = 1.59 m answer

wo=8000 1 592 
wo=3164 43N/m
wo=3 16kN/m answer
