TIMBER BEAM DESIGN
A timber section of 75 mm x 150 mm SG2 type grade is designed
to supports a flooring system which exerts a short-term uniformly
distributed load of 1.2 kN/m as shown in figure. The beam is simply
supported and held in position with no notches at both ends on
brick walls. Given the timber is in dry condition and no defect,
determine:
1. Bending stress
2. Shear stresses
3. Bearing Stress,
4. Lateral Buckling and
5. Deflection of timber beam
Conclude whether provided timber beam is sufficient to resist
load.
