Sample Question 1 (25 marks) A simply supported rectangular beam that is 150 mm deep and 100 mm wide is subjected to an axial tensile force of 10 kN and a uniformly distributed loading of w = 2 kN/m acting as shown in Figure Q1 below. The beam span L = 5 m. (a) Determine: i. The bending moment at beam midspan (5 marks) II. The maximum bending stress (in units of MPa) that occurs in the beam at midspan (5 marks) And hence: 111. Sketch the bending stress distribution at beam midspan (3 marks) (b) Using the principle of superposition: i Determine the location and magnitude of the maximum resultant stress in the beam (9 marks) ii. Sketch the resultant stress distribution (3 marks) W TOUN TOWN 2 Figure Q1
