Question
A simple supported beam has a span of 10 m. The beam used is a W33 x 240 with an A242 steel with Fy = 345 MPa.
Compute the safe uniformly distributed load that can be safely carried by the beam.
Properties of W33 x 240 section
A = 45548 mm²
b = 402.97 mm
d = 850.9 mm
t₁ = 35.56 mm
tw = 21.08 mm
Ix = 5660.75 x 10mm*
Iy = 388.34 x 10mm*
w = 3.51 kN/m
Sx = 13322.68 x 10³ mm³
Sy = 1933.67 x 10³ mm³
a. If the compression flange is braced laterally.
b. If the compression flange has lateral support only at its ends.
c. If the compression flange has lateral supports only at its ends and the midspan.
