Q1. A steel floor beam in a building has a span of 6.0 m. It is simply supported over
supports and carries a uniform load of 40.0 kN/m, inclusive of self-weight. Design the
beam (Fe 410 steel) if,
(i) the compression flange is restrained throughout the span against lateral bending.
(ii) the lateral supports for the compression flange are provided only at the ends.
Q2. A conference hall 8 m × 18 m is provided with a 120 mm RCC slab over rolled steel
beams spaced 3 m c/c. A wearing coat of 100 mm average thick ness is provided over the
roof. Design the beam section if, the compression flange of the beam is laterally
supported throughout.
Q3An ISLB 600 @ 976.1 N/m has been used as a simply supported beam over 7.20 m
span. Determine the safe uni form load that the beam can carry in flexure. Assume Fe
410 steel.
(a) The compression flange of beam is restrained against lateral buckling.
(b) The compression flange of beam is not restrained against lateral buckling. At the ends
beam is fully restrained in torsion but both the flanges are free to warp at the ends.
