Introduction
This post deals with the design of simply supported I-beam section subjected to permanent and variable loads according
to Eurocode 3. The design involves selecting the appropriate section that will satisfy limit state requirements.

Problem Statement
It is desired to select an appropriate section to satisfy ultimate and serviceability limit state requirements for a laterally
STRUCTVILLE DESIGN MANUAL
restrained simply supported beam that is subjected to the following loads;
Permanent Load Gk = 38 kN/m
Variable Load Qk = 12 kN/m

The length of the beam = 7.5m

The required section is supposed to have a plastic modulus about the y-y axis that is greater than;
Wpl,y = My,Edγm0/Fy

 Wpl,y = (487.265 × 103 × 1.0)/275 = 1771.872 cm3

From steel tables, try section 457 x 191 x 82        Wpl,y = 1830 cm3
