S275 steel grade.

From the video,

Factored load Unfactored load

Maximum shear, Ved (kN) 255 Not mentioned
Maximum moment, Med (kNm) 638 200

Hence, take the largest value of Ved and Med that are 255 kN and 638 kNm respectively.

Vmax = 75 kN
Mmax = 140.63 kNm
Beam size = 533 x 210 x 92
Depth, h = 549.1 mm
Width, b = 209.3 mm
Web thickness = 10.1 mm
Flange thickness = 15.6 mm
root radius = 12.7 mm
d = 476.5 mm
Iy = 55200 cm4
Wpl,y = 2360 cm3
Area, A = 117 cm2
Elastic modulus, E = 210000 N/mm2

For S275 steel and t < 16 mm,

fy = 275 N/mm2

5.57 < 8.28 ⸫ Therefore, the flange is Class 1 under compression

Hence, the overall cross-section is Class 1.

ηℎ𝑤 𝑡𝑤 = 1.0 x 501.9 x 10.1

Therefore, take 𝐴𝑣 = 5723.6 mm2

Bending Resistance
From Clause 6.2.5, verify that
𝑀𝑒𝑑

𝑀𝑐,𝑅𝑑

At the point of maximum bending moment (mid-span), verify whether the shear force will
reduce the bending resistance of the cross-section.

The reason why we chose size 533 x 210 x 92 is the bending moment resistance is adequate
to withstand the Med which is 638 kNm. Let’s say that we use size 533 x 210 x 82 UKB,

𝑀𝑐,𝑅𝑑 = 𝑀𝑝𝑙,𝑅𝑑 =
𝛾𝑚0
2060 × 103 × 275

Med = 638 kNm

Since 638 kNm is larger than 566.5 kNm, it means that size 533 x 210 x 82 UKB cannot
withstand the design moment

⸫The bending moment resistance is not adequate

So, we must choose size 533 x 210 x 92 UKB.
