A truck and trailer combination crossing a 10-m span (Hinge support at A and Roller
support at B) has axle loads of 10, 20, and 30 kN separated respectively by distances of 3
and 5 m.
a. What is the largest moment that 10kN-wheel will develop in the span? (kN-m)
b. What is the largest moment that 20kN-wheel will develop in the span? (kN-m)
c. What is the largest moment that 30kN-wheel will develop in the span? (kN-m)
d. What is the maximum moment developed in the span? (kN-m)
e. What is the maximum shear developed in the span? (kN-m)
f. Location of 20 kN-wheel from the hinge support?
2. If the beam is subjected to a bending moment of M = 50 kN-m, determine the maximum
bending stress in
the beam.

3. Determine the maximum tensile and compressive bending stress in the beam if it is
subjected to a moment of M = 6 kN-m
4. A wooden beam 150 mm wide by 300 mm deep is loaded as shown. If the maximum
flexural stress is 8 MN/m^2,

Find the maximum values of

a. W is a downward force (KN/m)

b. P (KN) that can be applied simultaneously.

Round to the nearest whole number.

5. The shaft is supported by smooth journal bearings at A and B that only exert vertical
reactions on the shaft. Determine its smallest diameter d if the allowable bending stress is
sallow = 180 MPa.

6. The beam ABC shown in the figure below has simple supports at A and B and an
overhang from B to C. A uniform load of 3.2 kN/m acts over the entire length of the beam.
The beam has a cross-section of channel shape with flange oriented such that the load is
applied along its strong axis. Determine the maximum tensile and compressive stresses in
the beam due to the uniform load.
7. A beam having a T-shaped section is subjected to a vertical shear force of V = 10,000 lb.
The cross-sectional dimensions are flange width, bf = 100 mm, flange thickness, tf = 25 mm,
gross depth of h = 200 mm and web thickness of 25 mm. Determine the maximum shear
stress in the flange and maximum and minimum shear stresses in the web.

8. If the wide-flange beam is subjected to a shear of V = 20 kN, determine the shear force
resisted by the web of the beam.

9. Determine the maximum shear stress acting in the fiberglass beam at the section where
the internal shear force is maximum.
10. Determine the maximum shear stress in the T-beam at section C.
