TIMBER DESIGN
1-3. A wooden purlin is used on a truss with a top chord inclined at 30° with the horizontal. The purlin is 50mm x 100mm
and has a length of 3.5m spaced by 0.45m on center. It carries a live load of 750 Pa, weight of roofing is 120 Pa and
ceiling load equal to 140 Pa. Use Apitong and Modulus of elasticity=7310 MPa.
1. Which of the following gives the uniform load carried by the purlin in N/m.
a. 298.79 c. 400.86
b. 377.4 d. 512.87
3. Which of the following gives the vertical deflection of the purlin in mm.
a. 32 c. 53
b. 45 d. 66
4-5. A 300mm x75mm wooden plank is placed on top of another 600mm x 150mm wooden plank having the same
material. The super imposed beam is subjected to a total moment of 42 kN-m. Span of both planks is 6m. E=8000MPa
for both planks.
4. Which of the following gives the moment in kN-m carried by the lower plank.
a. 20.45 c. 39.53
b. 27.66 d. 44.43
5. Which of the following gives the flexural stress in MPa of the other plank.
a. 8.78 c. 10.51
b. 9.2 d. 11.9
6-8. A timber joist 40mm x 190mm (dressed dimensions) spaced at 0.3m on centers, carries a floor load of 2.4 kPa
including the floor finish. The joist is supported by the girder at 3m. Two lengths of joist are used. L=3m and L=3.5m. EI is
constant throughout the span.
9-10. From the given truss, it is made up of guijo 100mm x 150mm. It is subjected to a vertical load of 20 kN acting at C.
