AML 285- Mechanics of Solids, Winter 2024 Semester

2nd Year B. Tech (Civil)


Assignment No. 3
Date of Assignment: 14.09.2024 Date of Submission: - 21.09.2024

1) A mild steel beam of depth 200 mm is bent into an arc of a circle of radius R. What is the
minimum value of R if the stress in beam is not to exceed 600 kg/cm2. The beam section is
symmetrical about the neutral layer. E = 2 x 106 kg/cm2.
2) A timber joist of rectangular section 10 cm x 20 cm deep is simply supported over a span of 4
metres and carries a uniformly distributed load of 1 tonne /meter run. Calculate the skin
stresses at the centre of the beam.
3) A steel beam of hollow rectangular section with outer sides 50 mm wide 100 mm deep and
inner sides 30 mm wide and 80 mm deep is simply supported over a span of 6 metres. How
much central load the beam can carry if the maximum stress is not to exceed 75 MN/m2
4) A beam of I section 30 cm x 12 cm, has flanges 2 cm thick and web 1 cm thick. Compare its
flexural strength with that of a beam of rectangular section of the same weight, the depth
being twice the width. What will be the maximum stress developed in I section for a bending
moment 30 kNm?
5) Find the position of the C. G. and calculate IXX for 15 cm x 10 cm x 1·5cm. T section shown
in Fig. A cantilever of length 3 metres and of the section shown with flange at the top carries
a load W at its free end. What can be the maximum value of W so that the stress in the section
must not exceed 50 N/mm2

6) brass strip 80 mm wide and 30 mm thick is bent into an arc of radius 60 m. What is the
maximum stress developed in the strip if Ebrass= 1 x 105 MN/m2
7) Find the position of C.G. and calculate moment of inertia IXX ·of an unequal angle section 10
cm x 8 cm x 1 cm. A beam of this angle section is used as a cantilever of length 3 metre
subjected to a turning moment M at its free end. What is the maximum value of M if the
stress in the section is not to exceed 70 MN/m2
8) A 20 cm x 8 cm channel with thickness of web 10 mm and thickness of flanges 12 mm is
used as a beam with the 20 cm base vertical. At a certain cross section it has to resist a
bending moment of 14 kNm. Calculate the maximum intensity of stress due to bending at that
section.
9) A CI beam of I section with top flange 15 cm x 1 cm, bottom flange 20 cm x 2 cm and web
27 cm x 1 cm is supported over a span of 6 metres. -If the permissible stresses are 1 tonne/cm2
in compression and 0·25 tonne/cm2 in tension, what uniformly distributed load can be safely
applied on the beam?
10) A cantilever has a free length of 3 metres. It is of T section with the flange 100 mm by 20
mm, web 200 mm by 10 mm; the flange being in tension. What load per metre run can be
applied if the maximum tensile stress is 40 N/mm2? What is the maximum compressive
stress?
