1X March 2012
Problem 1:
Prepare a design in Grade S355 Steel for a beam the above beam.
Note:
All the loads are characteristics loads,
Lateral torsional restraints exists at A, B, C and D.
SOLUTION:
STEP 1: Factored Loads at ULS
At B: 1.35 x 40 + 1.5 x 70 = 159 kN
At C: 1.35 x 20 + 1.5 x 30 = 72 kN

Problem 2:
The 7.5m long 610x229UB125 of S275 steel as shown bellow is simply supported at both ends
where lateral deflections are effectively prevented and twist rotations are partially restrained.
Check the adequacy of the beam for a central concentrated at the top flange load caused by an
unfactored dead load 60kN(which includes an allowance for self weight) and an unfactored
imposed load of 100kN.

Problem 3:
The 9.0m long 254x146UB37 of S275 steel as shown bellow, has a central concentrated
design load of 70kN(which includes an allowance for self weight) and a design end
moment of 70kNm. Lateral deflections and twist rotations are effectively prevented at
both ends and by a brace at mid-span. Check the adequacy of the braced beam.
