Computer · Strength of Materials
The following beam sections are subjected to bending with a load acting from the top: (i) a rectangular beam (width b = 300 mm and depth d = 500 mm) with load acting on the top face of width b, and (ii) a T-section (flange 100 mm × 20 mm, and web 130 mm × 20 mm) with the flange on top and load acting on the flange face. The intensity of shear stress due to bending will be maximum for these sections at:
- 1At the top face (d = 0) for the rectangular beam; at the top face of the flange for the T-section
- 2At a distance of 0.25 d from the top face for the rectangular beam; at a point on the web for the T-section
- 3At a distance of 0.5 d from the top face for the rectangular beam; at a point on the flange for the T-section
- 4At a distance of 0.5 d from the top face for the rectangular beam; at the neutral axis located on the web for the T-section✓
Correct answer
At a distance of 0.5 d from the top face for the rectangular beam; at the neutral axis located on the web for the T-section
