Chapter 8:

(15%) Problem 1 (Pro 8.3 Textbook modified):

A 12-foot-long single overhang beam is loaded as shown. Assuming a W8 x 35 determine:

1. The maximum tensile and compressive bending stress.

2. The average web shear stress

The uniformly distributed load includes the weight of the beam. Given: A992 steel Fb = 30 ksi.,

Fv = 20 ksi. For W8 x 35 section properties see Table A3 (Textbook Appendix).
