Strength of steel Clause 3.1.1

For steel grade S 275 and material thickness 10.2 mm

Design strength py=275 N/mm 2
Young's Modulus E=205 kN/mm 2

Classification Clause 3.5.2

Classify outstand element of compression flange:

Parameter (Table 11 Note b) e=(275/py)^0.5=(275/275)^0.5
=1
Outstand b=B/2=165/2=82.5 mm
Ratio b'T=b/T=82.5/10.2=8.0882
As b/T <= 9e ( 9 ), outstand element of compression
flange is classified as Class 1 plastic
Classify web of section:
Ratio d't=d/t=265.2/6=44.2
For sections with neutral axis at mid-depth
As d/t <= 80e ( 80 ), web is classifed as Class 1 plastic

Shear buckling

Since d/t < 70e no check for shear buckling is required.

Loading

Distributed loads:
Dead load (including self weight) wd=20 kN/m
Imposed load wi=2.7 kN/m
Factored distributed load w=1.4*wd+1.6*wi=1.4*20+1.6*2.7
=32.32 kN/m
Moment at support Mu=w*L^2/2=32.32*3^2/2=145.44 kNm
Accompanying shear force Fu=w*L=32.32*3=96.96 kN

Check section for combined moment and shear

Maximum shear

Shear area Av=t*D=6*303.4=1820.4 mm 2

Shear capacity Pv=0.6*py*Av/10^3=0.6*275*1820.4/10^3
=300.37 kN
Design shear force Fv=96.96 kN
Since Fv <= Pv ( 96.96 kN <=300.37 kN ) shear force within
shear capacity.
Maximum moment

Elastic modulus Z=Ix/(D/20)=8503/(303.4/20)

=560.51 cm 3
Since Fv < 0.6 Pv
Moment capacity for compact sec Mc=py*Sx/10^3=275*623/10^3
=171.33 kNm
Since M <= Mc ( 145.44 kNm <=171.33 kNm ) applied moment within
moment capacity.

Check for deflection

Imposed load only considered in deflection calculation

UDL for deflection calculation wu=wi=2.7 kN/m
Deflection for udl yu=(3*wu*L^4/24)*10^5/(E*Ix)
=(3*2.7*3^4/24)*10^5/(205*8503)
=1.5683 mm
Total deflection yt=1.5683 mm
Limiting deflection ylim=L*10^3/180=3*10^3/180
=16.667 mm
Since yt <= ylim ( 1.5683 mm <=16.667 mm ), OK for deflection.

Since Fbw <= Pbw ( 105 kN <=224.9 kN ) no bearing stiffener
