Steel Design
W21x62 steel is used as a beam simply supported over a span
of 8 m. The beam is laterally unsupported over the entire span
Fy = 250 MPa.
The properties of the section are as follows:
Depth, d = 533 mm
Flange width, bf = 210 mm
Flange thickness, tf = 15.6 mm
Web thickness, tw = 10.2 mm
Radius of gyration, rT = 53.34 mm
Section modulus, Sx = 2,077 x 103 mm³
a) Determine the value of the ratio L/rT.
b) Determine the allowable bending stress in MPa.
