Stress and Strain Profile of a Section under Bending Observations: Maximum strain and stress occur at the outer most layers/fibers, Strain and stress profiles vary linearly with the distance y from the centroid, There is no strain and stress at the neutral axis (neutral axis is the centroid of the section), The value c defines the distance from the centroid to the outer most layer.

PRISMATIC BEAM DESIGN (cont) Choices of section (refer to standard tables): Steel sections e.g. AISC standard W 460 X 68 (height = 459 460mm weight = 0.68 kn/m)
PRISMATIC BEAM DESIGN (cont) Wood sections Nominal dimensions (in multiple of 25mm) e.g. 50 (mm) x 100 (mm) actual or dressed dimensions are smaller, e.g. 50 x 100 is 38 x 89. Built-up sections
PRISMATIC BEAM DESIGN (cont) Procedures: Shear and Moment Diagram Determine the maximum shear and moment in the beam. Often this is done by constructing the beam s shear and moment diagrams. For built-up beams, shear and moment diagrams are useful for identifying regions where the shear and moment are excessively large and may require additional structural reinforcement or fasteners.
PRISMATIC BEAM DESIGN (cont) Normal Stress If the beam is relatively long, it is designed by finding its section modulus and using the flexure formula, S req d = M max /σ allow. Once S req d is determined, the cross-sectional dimensions for simple shapes can then be computed, using S req d = I/c. If rolled-steel sections are to be used, several possible values of S may be selected from the tables. Of these, choose the one having the smallest cross-sectional area, since this beam has the least weight and is therefore the most economical.
PRISMATIC BEAM DESIGN (cont) Normal Stress (cont) Make sure that the selected section modulus, S, is slightly greaterthan S req d, so that the additional moment created by the beam s weight is considered. Shear Stress Normally beams that are short and carry large loads, especially those made of wood, are first designed to resist shear and then later checked against the allowable-bending-stress requirements. Using the shear formula, check to see that the allowable shear stress is not exceeded; that is, use τ allow (V max /A s ), A s is the shear area and is a function of the cross sectional shape.
PRISMATIC BEAM DESIGN (cont) Shear Stress (cont) If the beam has a solid rectangular cross section, the shear formula becomes τ allow 1.5(V max /A), and if the cross section is a wide flange, it is generally appropriate to assume that the shear stress is constant over the cross-sectional area of the beam s webso that τ allow V max /A web, where A web is determined from the product of the beam s depth and the web s thickness.
PRISMATIC BEAM DESIGN (cont) Adequacy of Fasteners The adequacy of fasteners used on built-up beams depends upon the shear stress the fasteners can resist. Specifically, the required spacing of nails or bolts of a particular size is determined from the allowable shear flow, q allow = VQ/I, calculated at points on the cross section where the fasteners are located.
EXAMPLE 1 A beam is to be made of steel that has an allowable bending stress of σ allow = 170 MPa and an allowable shear stress of τ allow = 100 MPa. Select an appropriate W shape that will carry the loading shown in Fig. a.

EXAMPLE 1 (cont) Solutions The beam having the least weight per foot is chosen, W460 x 60 The beam s weight is W ( 0.60kN/ m)( 6 ) = 3.60kN = m From Appendix B (tables), for a W460 x 60, d = 455 mm and t w = 8 mm. Thus τ avg = 3 ( ) V 90010 max = = 24.7MPa < 100MPa (OK) A web ( 455)( 8) Use a W460 x 60.
EXAMPLE 2 The laminated wooden beam shown in Fig. 11 8a supports a uniform distributed loading of 12 kn/m. If the beam is to have a height-to-width ratio of 1.5, determine its smallest width. The allowable bending stress is 9 MPa and the allowable shear stress is 0.6 MPa. Neglect the weight of the beam.
