Wood Beam Design Based on NDS 2018
INPUT DATA & DESIGN SUMMARY
MEMBER SIZE 16 x 24 Select Structural, Douglas Fir-Larch

MEMBER SPAN L= 10 ft

UNIFORMLY DISTRIBUTED DEAD LOAD wD = 112 lbs / ft

UNIFORMLY DISTRIBUTED LIVE LOAD wL = 0
lbs / ft
CONCENTRATED DEAD LOADS PD1 = 1500 lbs
(0 for no concentrated load) L1 = 4 ft
PD2 = 3936 lbs
L2 = 5 ft
DEFLECTION LIMIT OF LIVE LOAD D L = L / 360 Camber => 0.01 inch
DEFLECTION LIMIT OF LONG-TERM DKcr D + L = L / 180
THE BEAM DESIGN IS ADEQUATE.
Does member have continuous lateral support by top diaphragm ?
(1= yes, 0= no) 0 No

ANALYSIS
DETERMINE REACTIONS, MOMENT, SHEAR

CHECK BENDING AND SHEAR CAPACITIES

fb = MMax / Sx = 128 psi < Fb = 1850 psi [Satisfactory]
fv' = 1.5 VMax / A = 14 psi < Fv ' [Satisfactory]

CHECK DEFLECTIONS
D(L, Max) = 0.00 in, at 5.000 ft from left end, < DL = L / 360 [Satisfactory]
D(Kcr D + L , Max) = 0.01 in, at 4.900 ft from left end < DKcr D + L = L / 180 [Satisfactory]
Where Kcr = 1.50 , (NDS 3.5.2)

DETERMINE CAMBER AT 1.5 (DEAD + SELF WEIGHT)

D(1.5D, Max) = 0.01 in, at 4.900 ft from left end
CHECK THE BEAM CAPACITY WITH AXIAL LOAD
AXIAL LOAD F = 8.1 kips

THE ALLOWABLE COMPRESSIVE STRESS IS

Fc' = Fc CD CP CF = 1558 psi
Where Fc = 1100 psi
CD = 1.60
CF = 0.93 (Lumber only)
CP = (1+F) / 2c - [((1+F) / 2c)2 - F / c]0.5 = 0.954
Fc* = Fc CD CF = 1633 psi
Le = Ke L = 1.0 L = 120 in
b = 15.5 in
SF = slenderness ratio = 7.7 < 50 [Satisfies NDS 2018 Sec. 3.7.1.4]
FcE = 0.822 E'min / SF2 = 7954 psi
E'min = 580 ksi
F = FcE / Fc* = 4.870
c = 0.8
THE ACTUAL COMPRESSIVE STRESS IS
fc = F / A = 22 psi < Fc ' [Satisfactory]

THE ALLOWABLE FLEXURAL STRESS IS

Fb' = 2368 psi, [ for CD = 1.6 ]

THE ACTUAL FLEXURAL STRESS IS

fb = (M + Fe) / S = 216 psi < Fb ' [Satisfactory]

CHECK COMBINED STRESS [NDS 2018 Sec. 3.9.2]

(fc / Fc' )2 + fb / [Fb' (1 - fc / FcE)] = 0.092 < 1 [Satisfactory]
