Lab. Work No. 3 Design and Analysis of Timber Beam

1. What uniformly distributed load will a 250 mm x 500 mm beam support on a span length
of 6.0 m if the allowable bending stress of the lumber is 12.50 MPa?

2. Design a rectangular beam to carry a uniformly distributed load of 2000 N/m over its
entire span of 5.5 m. Use Guijo of 80%. Allowable deflection is 1/360 of the spam.
Allowable bending stress is 20.70 MPa ; allowable shearing stress is 1.46 MPa. Modulus
of elasticity is 12.40 x 103 MPa. Beam width is ¼ of its height.

Lab. Work No. 4 Design of Floor Joist

The live load of a certain floor area is 2400 Pa and is to be supported by timber joists
spaced at 0.60 m on center with a simply supported span of 4.0 m. The allowable stresses
of 67% stress grade of Narra are : bending 15.40 Mpa ; shear = 1.05 MPa; bearing
perpendicular to grain = 2.17 MPa and E = 8.14 x 103 MPa. If the joists rest on girders
115 wide dressed dimension and the allowable deflection is restricted to 20 mm, design
the joists. Assume full lateral support. Timber weights 7.6 kN/m 3.

Lab. Work No. 5 Design of Purlins

Design the purlins whose spacing is 700 mm on center to carry a roofing load of 60 Pa
and a wind load of 1.40 kPa of vertical surface. The roof truss has a pitch of ¼ , the span
is 4.5 m , allowable bending stress is 8 MPa, weight of purlins is 5400 N/m3 , allowable
shearing stress is 0.90 MPa , modulus of elasticity is 9.1 GPa.
Lab. Work No. 6 Design and Analysis of Timber Column

1. Determine the diameter of a round column having an unsupported length of 3 m and an

axial load of 250 kN. Use Apitong with 80% stress grade.

2. Compute the maximum allowable axial load for a 200 mm x 200 mm column having an
unsupported length of 2 meters. The timber is of Guijo with 56% stress grade.
