Transcribed Image Text:As Figure 5 shows, during construction, the main girders of a bridge are cantilevered outward from one
pier toward the next spanning up to 36 m. The girders have built-up cross-sections as shown in the
figure. It is estimated that the girder construction load can be considered as a uniformly distributed load
with 4.0 kN/m intensity. This includes the self-weight of the girders. What is the maximum bending
stress in a girder during construction?
