SET-B

1. Draw SF and BM diagrams for the beam shown in figure.

2. Draw SF and BM diagrams for the beam shown in figure.
3. Draw SF and BM diagrams for the beam shown in figure.
4. For the beam and loading shown, determine the maximum normal stress due to
bending on a transverse section at c.
5. For the beam and loading shown, determine the maximum normal stress due to
bending on a transverse section at a-a.
6. A rectangular section 200 mm wide and 400 mm deep is used on a span of 6 m for the
loading shown in Figure. Find the maximum value of W so that the permissible stress of
50 MPa is not exceeded in the material.
7. A beam of rectangular section, 200 mm x 400 mm carries a uniformly distributed load of
30kN/m over the whole span. Find the maximum bending stresses at mid-span and at
quarter span points.

8. A rectangular section, 200 mm x 400 mm, spans a distance of 2 m. Find what UD load
can the beam section carry on this span. Permissible stresses are 7 N/mm2 in tension and
15 N/ mm2 in compression.
9. Two wooden planks 5cm x 15 cm each are connected together to form a cross-section of
a beam as shown. If a bending moment of 340 KNm is applied about the horizontal
neutral axis find the stresses at the extreme fibres of the cross section. Also calculate the
tensile force and compression force on the cross section.
10. The T shaped cross section of a beam shown in figure is subjected to a vertical shear
force of 10KN. Calculate the shear stress at the neutral axis and at the junction of the web
and the flange. Moment of inertia about the horizontal neutral axis is 11340 cm4.

11. An I-section has a depth of 200 mm, flange width of 120 mm, flange thickness of 15 mm
and web thickness of 10 mm. Determine what percentage of the BM and SF are carried by the
flange and web individually.
