Problem:
A 100 mm x 300 mm rectangular beam carries a uniformly distributed load of “W” kN/m over its entire
span. The beam is freely supported at its end. If the max. allowable bending stress is 8.27 MPa and
simultaneously the max. allowable shearing stress is 0.70 MPa.
Solution:
1. Max. vertical shear:
