Question

A W420x85 steel beam is fully restrained with a uniformly distributed live load of 25 kN/m. The beam has a span of 10m. Use A36 steel.

Properties of W40 x 85

A = 10839 mm2

bf = 180 mm

tf = 18 mm

t= 11 mm

Ix = 310 x 10mm4

d = 420 mm

(Note: Since this is a built-up section, for checking of web slenderness, use h = d - 2tf)

 

1) Calculate the design shear strength of the section. Check if the section is adequate in shear. USE LRFD and U = 1.2D + 1.6L.

2) Is the maximum deflection at the midspan of the beam due to live load adequate? 

3) Calculate the maximum uniform live load that can be carried by the beam.
