The UKB 610 x 305 x 179 in S275 section is strengthened by welding a 310mmx20 mm plate of S355 to each flange. Determine I, Wpl and Wa about y and z-axis of the resulting section. Calculate the percentage increase in the plastic moment resistance about the y-axis of the section, achieved by welding the plates. Full lateral restraint may be assumed. Considering the beam is simply supported, also comment on serviceability improvement achieved.
