Question

A simple supported beam made up of steel with a maximum shear resistance of 150 MPa is subjected to a self weight of 88 N/mm. In addition to the self-weight, the beam is also subjected to point loads acting at the beam mid-span. Find out the magnitude of point load acting on the beam such that the shear stresses does not exceed the allowable shear stresses. The beam has a I- shape cross section having flanges dimensions of 300mm wide and 8mm thick and web with a thickness of 8mm and height of 284mm. The span length of the beam is 4m. Consider the self weight of the beam in solving the question.
