BENDING IN BEAMS
ASSIGNMENT # 3

Given Date: Monday 29th of April, 2024 Due Date: Friday 10th of May, 2024

Total: 40 Marks

Question 1 (10 Marks)

A horizontal steel girder has a span of 3 m and is built-in at the left-hand end and freely supported
at the other end. It carries a uniformly distributed load of 30 kN/m over the whole span, together
with a single concentrated load of 20 KN at a point 2 m from the left-hand end. The supporting
conditions are such that the reactions at the left-hand end is 65 kN.

a) Determine the bending moment at the left-hand end and draw the B.M. diagram.
b) Give the value of the madimum bending moment.
c) If the girder is 200 mm deep and has a second moment of area of 40 x 10-6 m4 determine
the maximum stress resulting from bending.

Question 2 (10 Marks)

A 200 mm wide x 300 mm deep timber beam is reinforced by steel plates 200 mm wide x 12 mm
deep on the top and bottom surfaces as shown below in Figure 1. If the maximum allowable
stresses for the steel and timber are 120 MN/m2 and 8 MN/m2 respectively, determine the
maximum bending moment which the beam can safely carry.

For steel E = 200 GN/m2; for timber E = 10 GN/m2.

Question 3 (10 Marks)

A rectangular reinforced concerete beam is 200 mm wide and 350 mm deep to reinforcemnt, the latter
consisting of three 20 mm diameter steel rods. If the following stress are not to be exceeded, calculate:
(a) the maximum bending moment which can be sustained, and
(b) the steel stress and the maximum concrete stress when the section is subjected to this maximu
moment.

Maximum stress in concrete in bending not to exceed 8 MN/m2


Maximum steel stress not to exceed 150 MN/m2
Modular ration m = 15.

Question 4 (10 Marks)

A uniform T-section beam is 200 mm wide and 250 mm deep with a flange thickness of 30 mm and a
web thickness of 15 mm. If the limiting bending stresses for the material of the beam are 80 MN/m2 in
compression and 160 MN/m2 in tension, find the maximum u.d.l. that the beam can carry over a simply
supported span of 8 m.

All the best!!
