Solution to Problem 572 | Horizontal Shearing Stress
Problem 572
The T section shown in Fig. P-572 is the cross-section of a beam formed by joining two rectangular pieces of wood together. The beam is subjected to a maximum shearing force of 60 kN. Show that the NA is 34 mm from the top and the INA = 10.57 × 106 mm4. Using these values, determine the shearing stress (a) at the neutral axis and (b) at the junction between the two pieces of wood.

Solution to Problem 561 | Built-up Beams
Problem 561
A T section has the dimensions given in Fig. P-561. Show that the neutral axis is 3 inches below the top and that INA = 166.7 in4. If the tensile stress at the bottom of the flange is 1000 psi, calculate (a) the total tensile force in the flange and (b) the total compressive force in the cross section. Also compute (c) the moment of the compressive force about the NA, and (d) the moment of the total tensile force about the NA. (e) How does the sum of (c) and (d) compare with the total applied bending moment as computed from the flexure formula?

Solution to Problem 556 | Unsymmetrical Beams
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 to Problem 555 | Unsymmetrical Beams
Problem 555
A beam carries a concentrated load W and a total uniformly distributed load of 4W as shown in Fig. P-555. What safe value of W can be applied if fbc ≤ 100 MPa and fbt ≤ 60 MPa? Can a greater load be applied if the section is inverted? Explain.
