Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a steel beam with a yield strength of 50 ksi, determine how much load it can support over a span of 12 feet, assuming a rectangular cross-section of 10 inches by 5 inches.
💡 Hint: Use I = b*h^3/12 for moment of inertia and load equations related to bending stress.
Analyze how residual stresses could affect a new bridge design if hot-rolled beams are used without consideration of their stresses.
💡 Hint: Consider how cooling affects the inner stresses of the beams.
