 1 Check on support size

1.1 Use member: C-Channel 150 x 75 x 18.6 kg/m

A = 2371 mm2
Tensile stress: St = R1 / A = 5 N/mm2
Z chosen = 1.15E+05 mm 3

Bending Moment, BM = X2 x F3 + X1 x F1
= 1103625 Nmm
Bending Stress: Sb = BM / Z = 10 N/mm2

Yield Strength for struc. A36/EQ = 248 N/mm2

Allowable, Sy = 0.67 Yield = 166 N/mm2
Combined Stresses = St/Sy + Sb/Sy = 0.09 < 1.00
*** Satisfactory !!!! ***

2 Check on support size

2.1 Use member: C-Channel 150 x 75 x 18.6 kg/m

Least Radius of Gyration, ry = 22.7 mm and C.S.Area, A = 2371 mm2
Slenderness Ratio, l = 1.0 x L / ry = 44.384
Thus Allowable compressive stress, Fb = 18.86 ksi = 130.06 N/mm2
Compressive stress = P/A= 40.74 N/mm2 < Fb
