6. A cantilever beam 2 m long has a rectangular cross-section 50 mm wide and 150 mm deep. It
carries a uniformly distributed load of 5kN/m over the whole span and in addition to this an
axially applied compressive force of 3kN.
(a) Calculate the maximum resultant direct stress in the beam, and
(b) for this section, plot a stress distribution diagram
(c) Also calculate the position of the neutral axis.

SOLUTION
(a) Maximum bending moment due to uniformlydistributed load = -5 x 2 x 1 = 10 kNm
Ixx of the cross section is

Since the cross section is symmetrical about the neutral axis,the magnitude of the stress at the top
and bottom of the section at the wall will be the same.
