3- Three wooden beams and two steel plates are securely bolted together to form the
composite member shown. Using the data given below, determine the largest permissible
bending moment when the composite member is bent about a horizontal axis.

4- The 6 x 10 in timber beam has been strengthened by bolting to it the steel strap(s)
shown. The modulus of elasticity is 1.5 x 106 psi for the wood, and 30 x 106 psi for the
steel. Determine the maximum stress in (a) the wood, (b) the steel, when the beam is bent
about a horizontal axis with M = +250 kip.in.
5- The reinforced concrete beam shown is subjected to positive bending moment of 100
kip.ft. Knowing that the modulus of elasticity is 3.75 x 106 psi for the concrete and 30 x
106 psi for the steel, determine (a) the stress in the steel, (b) the maximum stress in
concrete.
6- Five metal strips, each of 10 x 30 mm cross section, are bonded together to form the
composite beam shown. The modulus of elasticity is 210 GPa for the steel, 105 GPa for the
brass, and 70 GPa for the aluminum. Knowing that the beam is bent a bout a horizontal
axis by couples of moment M = 1500 N.m, determine the maximum stress (a) in the steel,
(b) in the brass, (c) in the aluminum.

7- Determine the stress at points A and B, (a) for the loading shown, (b) if 40 kN loads are
applied at points 1 and 2 only.

8- Knowing that the allowable stress in section a-a is 12 ksi, determine the largest force P
which may be exerted by the press shown.

9- Knowing that the clamp has been tightened until P = 75 lb, determine (a) the stress at
point A, (b) the stress at point D, (c) the location of the neutral axis.
