Solution

Q1.

Mmax = (50 kN)(1.2 m) = 60 kN • m

Aa = 3(m)(12.5)2 = 1472.6 mm2

Est = 200 GPa

Econ = 29 GPa

200 ,
A' = nAsl = 29 (1472.6) = 10156 mm2

zyA = 0; 200()() - 10156(325 - h') = 0

A'2+ 101.56/1-33007 =0

Solving for the positive root:

h‘ = 137.86 mm

1= 1(200)(137.865)(200)(137,86)(137.86/2)2 +10156(325-137.86)2

= 530.35(106) mm4

My _ 60(106)(137.86)
conJ max = 15.60 MPa
I “ 530.35(106)

/My\ /200\60(106)(325-137.86) _
(°si)max = n(I ) = ( 29 ) 530.35(105) = 146.0 MPa
