CE3050: Basic Structural Steel Design

Even Semester July-Nov 2013

Tutorial 6
Consider grade of the steel as E250.
1. The roof of a hall of 12 m 8 m consists of a RC slab 100 mm thick and 50 mm finish. The
slab is supported on steel beams spaced at 3 m center to center. The live load on the slab is
2 kN/m2. Design an intermediate steel beam using I section. Assume that the slab provides
adequate lateral restraint to the compression flange of the steel beam. The grade of the steel
is E250.
2. A beam of span of 5 m carrying a load of 20 kN/m on the left half and a concentrated load of
50 kN at the quarter span on the right half. Design the beam assuming that it is laterally
supported along its length.
3. A beam of 6 m of an effective span carries a uniformly distributed load of 30 kN/m with
concentrated loads of 15 kN each at 1/3rd points of the span. The depth of the beam is
limited to 300 mm. Design the beam with additional plates to the flanges. Assume that the
beam is laterally supported throughout.
