is neat you can use both side of sheets. In case of more than one sheet use, staple your sheets from
upper left corner.
2) Each solution should start with the question statement and its figure.
3) Provide your results with solution steps, all the necessary calculations, explanations in a visible, neat
way.
4) Homeworks are assigned to grasp the topics covered. It would be helpful If it is studied by yourselves.
5) You can discuss on questions with your friends, however; the submission should be your own

Q.1- If the bearing pads at A and B support only
vertical forces, determine the greatest magnitude of
the uniform distributed loading w that can be

applied to the beam. σallow = 15 MPa,

and τallow = 1.5 MPa. (2010 Final Exam, Q3, 25 P)
