Topic 4- Beam Bending Stresses

The first example is an analysis of an aluminum window mullion:

Here is an example of the design of the beam with overhang that we studied in Chapter 4:
 

The following example determines the length at which the design of a simply supported beam with a point load goes from being shear stress controlled to bending stress controlled (see also problem 5.8-6 in the text):

This example shows how to compute beam bending stress and shear stress in both web and flanges for a modified I-shape:

Here is how to compute the shear stress at the neutral axis of a hollow circular beam:

Here is an example of connection design in a built up beam, in this case the welds in a plate girder:
