Job: AA C3503 -- 2910 mm _ D400 _ X287 N 288

Subject: Beam checking calculation (Span 2910 mm)

w KN/m

2910

Loading width = 0.9 m

The multipart covers consist of 900 x 600 & 750 x 600 mm covers
Clear opening span = 2910 mm

The multipart cover will be designed to EN 124 Class D400 Kn loading

Design Load on beam = 400 kN

This is very conservative as Class D400 KN cover is only designed to 11.5 tons
nominal wheel loading.

UDL = Load on beam / Length/ Width = 153 kPa

w = 153 Kpa x 0.9 M = 137 KN/m

1) Check Deflection: Use 350 x 175 I beam

4
I x-x = 137,000,000 mm
3
Z x-x = 782,000 mm
Max. deflection = 5/384 x wL4/EI

= 5 137 x ( 2910 )4
x
384 210000 x 137000000

= 4.461 mm
This is less than 1 in 200 L = 14.6 mm

2) Check Stress

Max. Moment (M) = wL2/8

2
= 137.5 x ( 2910 )
8

= 145500000.00 N.mm

Bending stress = M/Z

= 145500000.00
782000

= 186.06 N/mm 2

OK,as it is less than the yield strength of 235 N/mm2
