A beam ABC with an overhang from B to C is constructed of a C = 10 × 30 channel section (see figure). The beam supports its own weight (30 lb/ft) plus a triangular load of maximum intensity q0 acting on the overhang. The allowable stresses in tension and compression are 20 ksi and 11 ksi, respectively.
Determine the allowable triangular load intensity q0,allow if the distance L equals 3.5 ft.
