To present the theory that governs the estimation of the distribution of normal bending stresses and shear stresses in plane beam sections. Use a technical formal report style (as was required for the original lab report) and include appropriate equations, figures and references.
Your report should include an Appendix with a numerical example showing the distribution of normal bending stresses through the cross- section of the T-beam shown below. The beam has a 10m span and is simply supported at its ends. It is centrally loaded with a load P which can vary between 1kN to 50kN. You should draw the stress distribution diagrams at both minimum and maximum values of the applied load. (The Appendix should not be counted in the 1,000 words report).
