Q8 |
A beam of rectangular section 450 mm wide and 750 mm deep has           a span of 6 metres. The beam is subjected to a uniformly distributed load of 20 kN per metre run (including the self-weight of the beam) over the whole span. The beam is also subjected to a longitudinal axial compressive load of 1500 kN. Find the extreme fibre stresses at the middle section span.  |
