Question

A W section is used as a beam with a simple span of 6 m. The beam is to resist an ultimate load as shown in Figure W1. Determine if the W-beam is adequate to carry the loadings.

Properties of W section:
A = 12300 mm2
Ix = 222 x 106 mm4
ry = 76.7 mm
tw = 9.91 mm
rx = 134 mm
tf = 15.40 mm
k = 30.5 mm
bf = 305 mm
Sx = 1440 x 10³ mm3
