Distributed load

If the stress in the composite beam in the previous question is not to exceed 7 MN/m estimate the maximum uniformly distributed load which it could carry over its whole length. Calculate also the central deflection after 1 week under this load. The bending moment at the centre of the beam is lVL/24. 

Ashton observed that skew (parallelogram-shaped) isotropic plates under uniform distributed load Po as shown in the orthogonal X-Y coordinates in Figure 5-9 are governed by the equilibrium differential equation... 

Consider a bar of length L and uniform cross-sectional area A to which an axial, uniformly distributed load with a magnitude, P, is applied at each end (Figure 2-25). Then within the bar there is said to be uniaxial stress o, defined as the load, or force per unit area... 

Now consider a block to which a uniformly distributed load of magnitude P is applied parallel to opposed faces with area A (Figure 2-27). These loads produce a shear stress within the material T. 

Spread Foundations. The purpose of the spread foundation is to distribute loads over a large enough area so that soil can support the loads safely and without excessive settlement. Such foundations are made of steel-reinforced concrete. When concrete is used for a foundation, it should be placed on undisturbed soil. All vegetation should be removed from the surface therefore, the upper few inches of soil should be removed before concrete is laid down. The area of the foundation must be large enough to ensure that the bearing capacity of the soil is not exceeded or that maximum settlement is within acceptable limits. If details are known of the subsurface soil conditions, the foundation must be sized so that differential settlement will not be excessive. For...

In numerical analysis, both functions of normal surface deformation and pressure distribution have to be discretized in a space domain over U grid points for a line load, or grid points for two-dimensional distributed load. As an example, the deformation for line loading can be rewritten in discrete form as follows ... 

The influence coefficient (IC) A( has been interpreted physically as the deformation at pointx due to unit point load acting on Xy. For the distributed load, Aj can be obtained through calculating the deformation at Xj, caused by the pressure distributed over a small area around the positionxy ... 

Compare the thickness required for a 2 m diameter flat plate, designed to resist a uniform distributed load of 10 kN/m2, if the plate edge is ... 

Fig. 14. One-dimensional cross section of an elliptic weighting filter. The characteristic length is defined as the section length when the relative weight has dropped to 2/a. The filter shape corresponds to the deformation profile of an elastic material under distributed load in a circle of radius Z./2.

The as-grown cells are usually extremely warped toward the cathode side at room temperature. To reduce the warp, the cells are flattened at 1400°C with a distributed load on the surface. The flattening treatment could reduce the warp at room temperature indicating that the sample is in a plastic state at 1400°C. In contrast, it was reported that the sintering of YSZ does not proceed well below 1250°C [25], Thus, it is considered that the temperature at which both the electrolyte and anode are constrained is between 1250°C to 1400°C. When the temperature at which the electrolyte and anode are constrained is assumed to 1400°C, the calculated residual stress is close to the measured value. 

Distributed Load—If the pressure is distributed over a beam of length 2b and unit width, as shown in Figure 43, with a uniform loading of P0 per unit length, then the stress intensity pz at any point (x, z) is given by either of the equations ...

Similarly, for a distributed load Froelich has shown that a plasticity-condition equation (applying to Eqs 7-18 and 7-19) may be derived and a limiting value P0 may be found, which the surface load, P must not exceed if valid readings are to be found near the surface. This equation is... 

As coprecipitation methods are not easy to control and reproduce, and impregnation techniques can not always be made to yield the desired active-phase distribution, loading and/or dispersion, it is worthwhile considering alternative methods. One of these is deposition-precipitation, which will be discussed in this section. 

Where q is the uniformly distributed load, a is the side of the square plate, E is its elastic modulus, and h is the plate thickness. Substituting the measured values in this expression, we obtain E=71 N/mm2 referring to table (1), we observe that this value is about twice the value obtained by the direct measurements. This difference could be due to geometrical effects which are present in panel testing, but are not too active in tension tests.

From the above equation, a break load (an ultimate load) for a standard Trex board equals to 509 lb. This would translate to an ultimate uniformly distributed load of 1667 Ib/ftl... 

Similar calculations for GeoDeck deck show that at flexural strength of the board (hollow boards of 5.5" width and 1.25" thickness and moment of inertia of 0.733 in. ) of 2782 psi, a break load at 16" span (center point load) would be 816 lb. This would translate to an ultimate uniformly distributed load of 2670 Ib/fC, which is more than 10 times higher than the ICC required load including the necessary safety factor. 

Deflection under uniformly distributed load is determined by the following formula ... 

For Trex boards E = 175,000 psi as reported by Trex, with / = 0.895 in. ), deflection under uniformly distributed load of 100 Ib/in. at 16-in. span would be 0.021 in., which is within the building code requirements. However, at support span of 24 in., deflection at the same conditions would be 0.105 in. that significantly exceeds the allowable limitation (24 7360 = 0.0667 in.).
