Problem I: (60 points)
A fixed beam is loaded as shown in Figure I. Two options of cross-sections will be studied:
Option 1 is a hollow square box shape, and Option 2 is a solid square shape. Assume linear
elastic behavior and that the beam is safe in shear. Neglect the own weight of the beam.
The dimensions of the beam are shown on the Figures.
The following are the properties of the system:
• E = 20 x 106 kPa (kN/m2)
: Modulus of elasticity
• σYT = 40,000 kPa
: Yield stress in tension
• σYC = 30,000 kPa
: Yield stress in compression
The following loads are to be considered:
• w
: Distributed load through L
• P
: Concentrated load at tip of beam

1. Let w = 50 kN/m and P = 100 kN.
Let a = 0.60 m for Option 2.
• Draw the shear and bending moment diagrams, and sketch the deflected shape in the
beam. (10 points)
• For each option, show the stress distribution due to bending on the critical cross-section,
and discuss the safety of the beam for bending. Compare cost and safety between the two
options and briefly comment. (20 points)
• Calculate the curvature of the beam at A. (5 points)

2. Determine the moment capacity for Option 1? How does this moment capacity correlate
with Option 1 in Question 1? (10 points)
Find “a” for Option 2 which will lead to the same moment capacity as Option 1. Compare
cost for Options 1 and 2, and comment on the effect of the inner void in Option 1. (10 points)

Problem II: (40 points)
• Design (find cross-section and length) of the thin tubular steel shaft shown in Figure II, given
the loading, properties and constraints below. (25 points)
• Draw the stress distribution on the cross-section along the circumference, and calculate by
integration the equivalent to torque and compare to the applied torque. (15 points)
• This should be a thin tube with t/D< 1/20
• Ignore own weight
• T = 1,000 kNm
• G = 100 x 106 kPa (kN/m2)
: Shearing modulus of elasticity
• γallowable = 0.001
: Allowable shear strain
• Rotation limited to 0.01 rad
