MathCad Steel Beam PDF

This document classifies the cross-section of a 254 x 102 x 28 UB steel beam under pure compression and combined axial load and bending. Under pure compression, the flange is Class 1 and web is Class 2, giving an overall classification of Class 2. With an axial load of 200 kN and bending, the flange is Class 1, web is Class 1, resulting in an overall classification of Class 1.

1 INTRODUCTION
This example gives details for the classification of cross sections under combined loading.
Using the loading conditions below, determine the classification of the cross-section of a 254 x
102 x 28 UB in grade S355 steel.
