4. Timber structural design
For the timber frame shown below, determine the suitable rectangular cross section
dimensions of the primary beam under the point load P and uniformly distributed surface load
q and a strength class of softwood solid timber to carry these loads. Demonstrate by
calculation that your selection is suitable in bending, shear and serviceability.
Use the tables provided (tables are on Page 4 and 5 of this exam paper). The strength
modification factor kmod = 0.7, there is load sharing between the primary beams, and the
moisture and creep factor kdef = 0.80
