Steel Beam Design and Analysis Problems

The document presents three problems related to the design and analysis of steel beams under various loading conditions. Problem 1 involves checking the adequacy of a specific steel beam under lateral restraint, while Problem 2 requires determining a new beam size without lateral restraint. Problem 3 focuses on designing a compound beam with specific load and dimensional constraints, including checks for deflection, shear, and weld design.

SC 411-TUTORIAL NO.

Problem 1:
A simply supported steel beam of 6.0mspan is required to carry a
uniform dead load of 40 kN/m and an imposed load of 20 kN/m. The
floor slab system provides full lateral restraint to the beam. If a 457 ×
191UB 67 of Grade S275 steel is available for this purpose, check its
adequacy in terms of bending, shear and deflection.

Problem 2:
The beam carries the same loads as in Problem1, but no lateral
restraint is provided along the span of the beam. Determine the new
size of universal beam required.
Problem 3:
A compound beam is to carry a uniformly distributed dead load of 400kN
and an imposed load of 600kN. The beam is simply supported and has a
span of 11 m. Allow 30kN for the weight of the beam. The overall depth
must not exceed 700 mm. The length of stiff bearing at the ends is
215.9mm where the beam is supported on 203 × 203 UC 71 columns.
Full lateral support is provided for the compression flange. Use Grade
S275 steel.

1) Design the beam section and check deflection, assuming a uniform section
throughout.
(2) Determine the theoretical and actual cut-off points for the flange plates and the
possible saving in weight that would result if the flange plates were curtailed.
(3) Check the web for shear, buckling and bearing, assuming that plates are not
curtailed.
(4) Design the flange plate to universal beam welds.
