Thank you for your assistance.

Or if I could find ultimate tensile stress from what I have I could get a good approximation by calculating the load that would cause my piece to fail under tension, then Med=Ft*z followed by Mmax=Pa for a beam with 2 equal point loads symmetrically spaced. I have used...

I am constructing a glutamine beam as part of a project and need to estimate the load at which the beam fails in bending and the load that will give deflection of length/200. I have been allowed to do a none destructive test on each piece of timber to be used in my beam. This has given me a...

Hi, I'm James a student of structural engineering, I have read some of the threads on this site and found them insightful, so I thought I'd join as a member to learn more and further my studies.
