On comparison of the strength of sections calculated using old and new code, it was found that the strength increases with increase in size of the sections to the maximum of 15% From Fig.4, 5 &6, it was found that for ISMB 100,125 and 150 the strength-weight ratio was approximately the same. For ISMB 150, 175,200,225,250 & 300 strength-weight ratio was found to increase with increase in size of the sections. For ISMB 300,350 and 400 the strength-weight ratio remains the same and for ISMB 400,450,500,550 and 600, it was found to increase with increase in size of the sections. Fig. 7 & 8 shows the curves drawn for the Stress Reduction factor, inclination of tension field and effective slenderness ratio with respect to different Indian Standard Medium Beams.
