Sub-Module Objectives:
In this sub-module, you will be provided with the techniques to analyze and design solid-sawn or glued laminated beams. The analysis and design techniques follow the same procedures introduced to you in Mechanics of Materials. We will examine the four primary factors; bending, shear, deflection, and bearing; that must be considered for any beam.
Sub-Module Directions:
Only three class days will be devoted to this deep sub-module. To complete this sub-module, which is the last sub-module in the wood beam module, you must:
- Study the five sets of on-line lecture notes.
- Complete the reading assignment.
- Come to class prepared to discuss the following topics:
- Day 1: Bending
- Day 2: Shear, Deflection, and Bearing
- Day 3: Design Example
- Complete the homework assignments and submit according to:
- Bending: Day 2
- Shear, Deflection, and Bearing: Day 4
- Beam Design: Day 4
- Complete the wood beam section of the design project and submit according to the directions provided in the project area of this class.
