17.4 A W410 X 100 structural steel wide-flange section is used as a horizontal lower chord member of a bridge truss. It is subjected to a tensile load of 1200 kN. The orientation of the member is such that the Y-Y axis (the weak axis) is horizontal. Calculate the maximum and minimum com- bined stresses due to the direct axial load and the member's own weight. The panel length (length of the member) is 8 m.
