WIDE FLANGE SECTION UNDER BENDING
EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
The frame object moment and shear strength is tested in this example.
In the example a simply supported beam is laterally restrained along its full
length and is subjected to a uniform factored load of 69 kN/m and a factored
point load at midspan of 136 kN. This example was tested using the BS 5950-
1990 steel frame design code. The moment and shear strengths are compared
with independent hand calculated results for the program chosen section.
