‘Select a suitable UB seetion ro function as a simply supported beam
carrying a 140mm thick solid concrete slab together with an
imposed load of 7.0kN/m?. Beam span is 7.2m and beams are

viding continuous lateral restraint othe beams top flange

buckling, so design beam for:

The crossheams may reasonably be assumed to provide full lateral
and torsional restraint at B and C; assume further that ends A and
D are similarly restrained. Thus the actual level of transfer of load
‘at B and C (relative to the main beam's centroid) will have no effect,
