1. The simply supported steel beam of span 6.4m free to rotate on plan at the ends shown below is laterally
restrained along its length and has bearing lengths of 50 mm at the unstiffened supports and 75 mm
under the mid span factored point load P=200KN. Neglecting self weight of the beam and using Fe430
steel grade, Check the adequacy of UB 457x191x67 for the following.
 Resistance for Bending moment
 Resistance for Shear
 Shear buckling
 flange induced buckling and
 Resistance of web to crushing at mid span point load.

2. The connection shown in the Figure below is subjected to a design tensile force of 300KN. The
steel Grade is Fe430, the bolt Grade 7.8 and its diameter is 22 mm. Check that the connection is
adequate.
