CH. 10: WOODEN BEAMS Flashcards
(29 cards)
- Structural element that carries transverse loads
WOODEN BEAMS
-A piece of wood which is typically long and squared that can be used as a building material.
WOODEN BEAMS
TYPES OF BEAMS:
- SIMPLE BEAM
- CANTILEVER BEAM
- CONTINUOUS BEAM
- OVERHANGING BEAM
- FIXED END BEAM
SIMPLE BEAM TYPES:
a. JOIST
b. RAFTER
c. STRINGER
– directly support the floor boards.
JOIST
- wooden beam that supports the roofing in an inclined position.
RAFTER
- the ties are placed in bridge construction longitudinally.
STRINGER
- It is a beam with only one support, either left or right end, that carries loads or weights on the unsupported section.
CANTILEVER BEAM
- It is a beam that is supported or rests on two or more supports.
CONTINUOUS BEAM
- a beam that is almost similar to a simple beam where in it supported at two points however the loads are carried on the extended portion.
OVERHANGING BEAM
- a beam in which both ends supports are fixed.
FIXED END BEAM
- an extent of pressure due to the overlaid weight or due to the external forces acting on the wooden beam
BEAM LOADING
TYPES OF LOAD:
- DISTRIBUTION OF THE WEIGHT IMPOSED
- LENGTH OF TIME WHEN WEIGHT ARE IMPOSED
DISTRIBUTION OF THE WEIGHT IMPOSED:
A. CONCENTRATED LOAD
B. OVERHANGING LOAD
C. DISTRIBUTED LOAD
- It is a load resting at any point in the entire length of the beam.
CONCENTRATED LOAD
- It is a load resting on the extended portion of the beam.
OVERHANGING LOAD
- The weights are spread over the entire length.
DISTRIBUTED LOAD
DISTRIBUTED LOAD:
- UNIFORMLY DISTRIBUTED LOAD
- UNIFORMLY VARYING LOAD
LENGTH OF TIME WHEN WEIGHT ARE IMPOSED:
A. STATIC LOAD
B. PERMANENT LOAD (DEAD LOAD)
C. SHOCK LOAD (IMPACT LOAD)
D. ROLLING LOAD
- a load which gradually increases in magnitude upon a stationary beam.
STATIC LOAD
- It is a load where the forces act over a long period of time with no increase in magnitude (floor joist).
PERMANENT LOAD (DEAD LOAD)
- load that is suddenly applied (ex. Wooden bat that hits the ball).
SHOCK LOAD (IMPACT LOAD)
- load resulting from weights in motion or a load that is moving (ex. Weight imposed on a bridge by moving vehicles).
ROLLING LOAD
- refers to the reactions which the wooden beam has obtained because of applied forces.
