Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a simply supported beam subjected to different loads, determine the flexural stresses at critical points along the beam. Use the parameters: L = 6m, P = 30 kN, and M = 15 kNm.
💡 Hint: Ensure to analyze at key load application points!
Analyze the impact of increased live loads on the permissible stress limits in a prestressed beam. Outline a strategy for monitoring these stresses during usage.
💡 Hint: Consider both short-term and long-term monitoring approaches.
