EXAMPLE 3-5 A beam having aT section with the dimensions shown in Fig. 3-15 is subjected to a bend- ing moment of 1600 N - m, about the negative z axis that causes tension at the top surface. Locate the neutral axis and find the maximum tensile and compressive bending stresses, Solution Dividing the T section into two rectangles, numbered 1 and 2, the total area is A = 12(75) + 12(88) = 1956 mm?, Summing the area moments of these rectangles about the top edge, where the moment arms of areas 1 and 2 are 6 mm and (12 + 88/2) = 56 mm respectively, we have 1956, = 12(75)(6) + 12(88)(56) and hence cy = 32.99 mm. Therefore co = 100 ~ 32.99 = 67.01 mm. Next we calculate the second moment of area of each rectangle about ils own ceniroidal axis. Using Table A-18, we find for the top rectangle 1 1, = ppb = 75-(15)12° = 1.080 x 10* mm* 4 2Figure 3-15 7 SS = le | “BF pet & if tn sgh, wi t= Ln = 685 0 ant ‘We now employ the pavalle-axis theorem to obtain the second moment of area of the composite figure about its own centroidal axis.
