Lecture 3 - Polinga, Irish M.

This document summarizes structural design considerations for timber members subject to flexural and axial loads. It outlines equations to check for combined bending and tension or compression. It provides definitions for terms like actual and allowable stresses. An example problem is presented to demonstrate calculating the allowable bending stress and compressive stress for a wooden beam with given dimensions, loads, and material properties. Various equations are also shown for determining the effective length and slenderness factor of different beam types under different loading conditions.

Sample Problem
A single span beam fixed at both ends carries a uniform load of 26 kN/m
has an unsupported span of 4m. It is made up of yakal 200mm x 350mm
wooden section. It is subject to a compressive load of 400kN at its centroid.
Allowable stresses of Yakal using 80% stress grade are as follows:
Bending and tension parallel to grain = 24.5 MPa
Modulus of Elasticity in Bending = 9780 MPa
Compression parallel to grain = 15.8 MPa
Compression perpendicular to grain = 6.27 MPa
Shear parallel to the grain = 2.49MPa

if Cs < 10, use Fb’ = Fb

B. Intermediate Unbraced beam:


When Cs < Ck
Ck = 0.811 (E/Fb)
Fb’ = Fb [1 - (Cs/Ck)4]

C. For visually graded sawn beam:


When Cs < Ck but less than 50
Fb’ = 0.438E/Cs2
