Assuming that the cross-section is Class 1 or 2 in bending (to be confirmed when a section is chosen): Required W,,,=357.5 x106/275 =1.30 x l b m m ' =1300 cm' From section tables, a 457 x 1 5 2 x 6 7 U K B has a value of W,,,, of 1450 cm', and a self-weight less than that assumed. Maximum component thickness is,flange thickness ti = 15.0mm I 1 6 . 0 m m : . f, =275 N / m m 2 is OK.

Check cross-section classification

Shear resistance

For a rolled 1-section, loaded parallel to the web, the shear area A, is given by:

A, = A -2btl

+ (t- + 2r)tl

(but not less than qh,t,)

From U K N A to BS EN 199.7-1-5, 11 = 1.0. With 11 = 1.0, A , > q h , t , for all U K B and UKC.
