Question

Consider the following uniformly loaded beam, where w = 50 lb/in (external loading) and l = 120 inches:

Determine the peak bending stresses that result in the following I-beams

(Note that you must add the beam’s weight in lb/in to the external loading):

a) W6x20 (20 lb/ft)

b) W6x16 (16 lb/ft)

c) What is the physical reason for the difference in these peak stress values? (be specific) Hint: what is different about these beams?

Consider the following uniformly loaded beam, where w = 50 Vin (external loading) and t= 120 inches: Determine the peak bending stresses that result in the following I-beams (Note that you must add the beam's weight In (p/in to the extremely loading) W6x20 (20 (41ü) W8x16 What is the physical reason for the difference in these peak stress values? (be specification) different about these beams?

Explanation / Answer

The peak bending stress in the given beam is 54mpa .

The main reason is the shape of the beam which Is going to distribute the wieght in different ways.
