1) (10 Marks) A 310UB40A in Grade 300 steel is used to construct a 5,5 m long simply supported beam.
There is a GI!!!I!!al point load P acting on the top of the beam 2,5 m from the left hand support. Calculate the
maximum value of P permitted for strength design under bending (ignore shear) for the following two cases:
• There is full lateral restraint along the entire length of the beam.
• There are points of full restraint at the end supports and the load point only,
