Solution:
1. Determine Beam Dimension
a. Required Area due to Axial Tension Load
At 16736.402 sq.mm

b. Required Area due to Bending

M 97200000.000 N•mm
d 413.480 mm
b 206.740 mm
Ab 85482.861 sq.mm

AT 102219.263 sq.mm

c. Trial Dimension
d 452.149 mm
try d 452.000 mm least dimension
b 226.074 mm 256.000 mm
try b 256.000 mm
Trial Area 115712.000 sq.mm

2. Check the Beam against Proportioned Stress

(interaction formula)
a. Interaction Formula for Combined Bending & Axial
fc 1.383 Mpa
fb 11.151 Mpa Le for simple span w/ uniform load
Cs 9.764 Le 13824.000 m
ck 17.070
Use Case 1
F'b 16.500 Mpa
b.For F'c Value Check Type of Compression Member
Slenderness Ratio 18.281 >11 (Ke*L)/least Ke=
dimension 0.650
K 18.555
 F'c 6.557 Mpa
c. For Value of constant J
J 0.964 ok
