PLATE NO. 3 : FLEXURAL & AXIAL TENSION & COMPRESSION

Problem # 1 : A timber wall 75mm wide by 180mm deep having a height of 3.25m
is assumed to be hinged on top and bottom. It has an axial load of 18kN. It is
subject to a uniformly distributed load acting on it weaker axis. The properties of
80% stress grade Apitong are as follows:
Bending & Tension Parallel to grain = 16.5 MPa
Modulus of Elasticity, E = 7310 MPa
Compression parallel to grain = 9.56 MPa
a. Allowable compressive stress if only axial load is acting on the wall.
b. Value of the allowable bending stress by the slenderness factor.
c. Safe uniform load “W” it could carry including its own weight.
Problem # 2 : A timber wall 75mm wide by 180mm deep having a height of 3.25m
is assumed to be hinged on top and bottom. It has an axial load of 16.5kN. It is
subject to a uniformly distributed load acting on it weaker axis. The properties are
as follows:
Bending and tension parallel to grain = 22.5 MPa
Modulus of Elasticity in Bending = 9761 MPa
Compression parallel to grain = 14.9 MPa
Compression perpendicular to grain = 7.27 MPa
Shear parallel to the grain = 3.49MPa

d. Allowable compressive stress if only axial load is acting on the wall.

e. Value of the allowable bending stress by the slenderness factor.
f. Safe uniform load “W” it could carry including its own weight.

PLATE NO. 4 : BOLTED CONNECTIONS
Problem # 1 : A distributed load of W N/m is applied over the entire length of a simply supported beam
5.25m long. The beam has a cross section as shown. Find the following:

a. Which gives the value of “W” if the allowable flexural stress is 12.4MPa?
b. Which gives the value of “W” if the allowable shearing stress is 0.78MPa?
c. Which gives the safe load “W” if the shear capacity of the screws are 825N and a spacing of
75mm?

Problem # 2 : The beam is constructed to form the figure as shown.

a. Compute the moment of inertia.

b. Compute maximum P to support the allowable shear stress for wood which is 3.58MPa.
c. Compute the required spacing if the nails to hold up & bottom flanges with a shear force of
1789 N.
