EXAMPLE:
1. A wide flange section has the following properties:
𝑏𝑓 = 150 𝑚𝑚 𝐼𝑥 = 108𝑥106 𝑚𝑚4
𝑡𝑤 = 9 𝑚𝑚 𝑄 @ 𝑁. 𝐴 = 380𝑥103 𝑚𝑚3
𝑡𝑓 = 12 𝑚𝑚 𝐹𝑣 = 0.40𝐹𝑦
𝑑 = 300 𝑚𝑚
a. Determine the shear capacity of the section.
b. Determine the safe uniform load that the section could carry if length of the beam is 8 m.
c. Determine the shear flow of the portion of the flange 30 mm from the edge.
d. Determine the shear flow at the neutral axis.
e. Determine the shear flow 88 mm from the NA
f. Determine the shear flow of the portion of the flange 20mm from the edge
2. A simple beam has a span of 10 m and supports a superimposed uniformly distributed load of 20 kN/m.
Properties of W 450 x 70:
𝑏𝑓 = 150 𝑚𝑚 𝐴 = 8700 𝑚𝑚
𝑡𝑤 = 10 𝑚𝑚 𝑤𝑏 = 70 𝑘𝑔/𝑚
𝑡𝑓 = 15 𝑚𝑚 𝐼𝑥 = 274.7 𝑥 106 𝑚𝑚4
𝑑 = 450 𝑚𝑚 𝐼𝑦 = 3.47 𝑥 106 𝑚𝑚4
