connected to columns at its ends by means of
framed connections. The Section (H = 250 mm,
B = 200 mm, tf = 9 mm, tw = 6.7 mm,
Iy = 8575000 mm4, Ip = 120000 mm4 ) is over
the effective span of 5 m. If the beam is
laterally restrained at mid span also, determine
the safe uniformly distributed load the beam
can carry. Permissible stress in material may
be taken as 150 MPa.
