SHEATHING
-ROOF BEAM
(20%) Problem 5 :
Design a Southern Pine No. 1 beam to carry the loads shown (roof beam, no plaster). Assume the
beam is supported at each end by an eight-inch block wall. Consider bending, shear and
deflection. The allowable deflection is (1/240) of the span length for total load.
Fb = 1,550 psi; Fv = 110 psi; E = 1.6 x106 psi
