To complete this lesson you will need a
calculator. You will also need to refer to the
table included in your booklets. The table is
an extract from BS 4: Part 1: 1980, reproduced
by kind permission of the British Standards
Institution. Complete copies can be obtained
from BSI at 389 Chiswick High Road, London,

A bending moment of 720 N m is applied to a timber beam of rectangular
section shown in FIGURE 3(a). Assume the top fibres are in compression and
determine:
(i) the maximum stress in the beam due to bending
(ii) the radius of curvature of the beam.

Determine the maximum bending moment that may be
applied to a universal ('I' section) beam 134 mm wide 
207 mm deep. The beam is simply supported over a
span of 5 m and maximum stress in the material must
not exceed 60 MN m–2. The second moment of area of
the section about its neutral axis is 2887 cm4. You
should verify this value by referring to the table
extract from BS4 given in tables. Note that the closest
serial size given in the table is '203  133'.
