For Problem, use the formula method.
Compute the maximum deflection for the beam of Problem if the loading consists of one concentrated load of 5000 lb at midspan instead of the uniformly distributed load. The allowable deflection is of the span length. Is the beam satisfactory?
Problem
Compute the maximum deflection of a 10-in.-by-14-in. simply supported solid rectangular redwood (S4S) beam. The span length is 15 ft and the beam is subjected to a uniformly distributed load of 1000 lb/ft. The allowable deflection is of the span length. Is the beam satisfactory?
