EXAMPLE 3-5 A beam having aT section with the dimensions shown in Fig. 3-15 is subjected to a bend-
ing moment of 1600 N - m, about the negative z axis that causes tension at the top surface.
Locate the neutral axis and find the maximum tensile and compressive bending stresses,
Solution Dividing the T section into two rectangles, numbered 1 and 2, the total area is A =
12(75) + 12(88) = 1956 mm?, Summing the area moments of these rectangles about
the top edge, where the moment arms of areas 1 and 2 are 6 mm and (12 + 88/2) =
56 mm respectively, we have
1956, = 12(75)(6) + 12(88)(56)
and hence cy = 32.99 mm. Therefore co = 100 ~ 32.99 = 67.01 mm.
Next we calculate the second moment of area of each rectangle about ils own
ceniroidal axis. Using Table A-18, we find for the top rectangle

‘where /,, is the second moment of area about its own centroidal exis and J, is the
second moment of area about any parallel axis a distance d removed, For tho top
rectangle, the distance is
dy = 32.99 — 6 = 2699 mm
‘and for the bottom rectangle,
dy = 6101 — > = 2301 mm
Using the parallel-atis theorem for both rectangles, we now find that
