CONTINUATION NOTE ON LOAD AND

STRESS IN ANALYSIS
BY
Engr. Maruf Kolawole

Parallel axis theorem is use to obtain the second moment of area of the

composite figure about its own centroidal axis. The theorem states that
Where = second moment of area about its own centroidal axis
= second moment of area about any parallel axis a distance d removed

Worked Example
A beam having a T section with the
dimensions shown above is
subjected to a bending moment of
1600 N.m, about the negative z
axis, that causes tension at the top
surface. Locate the neutral axis and
find the maximum tensile and
compressive bending stresses

Take Home
A beam 0.5 m long is to support a load of 3 kN acting 100 mm from the left support
as shown below. The beam is an I beam with cross-sectional dimensions shown
below and for simplicity, a square corners cross-section was assumed as shown
beside the beam. Point of interest are labeled (a, b, c and d) at distances y from the
neutral axis of 0 mm, 32- mm, 32+ mm and 38 mm (for the I-section). At the critical
axial location along the beam, find the following:
Determine the profile of the distribution of the transverse shear stress, obtaining
values at each points of interest
Determine the bending stress at the points of interest
Determine the maximum shear stresses at the points of interest, and compare them
