QUESTION 1 For the beam shown in Figure la: (a) Solve for the missing reactions RA, Rn and MA; sketch the bending moment diagram for the beam. (b) Using the cross section shown in Figure Ib, design the beam for the negative moment over the middle support (support B) in Figure la. You may ignore the moment due to the self-weight of the beam. Take f ~ =25 MPa, fs y =500 MPa, 10 mm diameter stirrups and cover = 30 mm. Note, all loads shown in Figure la are factored design loads. 4,., 6th Figure la (dimensions are in m) r I 100 ..::;.... ~ f 4. .; ~ .: ...

There are no loads applied to the member between its end points. (a) Solve for all missing actions. (b) An engineer has proposed the section shown in Figure 2b. Is the section sufficient to carry the design loads? Fully justifY your answer by detailed calculation. Take f; = 40 MPa and fs y = 500 MPa . Note that all stress resultants shown in Figure 2a are the result design loads factored for the strength limit condition. ~ V" = ~ \<N * J ~ ~ ~ It 4------::t .

The section geometry of the beam (530UB92.4) is also shown in Figure 3. There is full restraint at both supports only. (1) Calculate the maximum value of W', clearly indicating the values of Ms, Le, am, as and Mb, where relevant. (2) Check the adequacy of the beam in shear at the design value of W calculated in part (1) and, if required for strength, design intermediate web stiffeners. (3) Check whether load-bearing stiffeners are necessary at the supports, if stiff bearing plate length at supports = 300 mm. 2W'(kN/m) /W'(kN/m) A B C D 6m 12 m ~ 6m ~ I 4 ~ 4 1 4 209 mm ~ I 530UB92.4 Grade 300 10.2 mm 533 mm 15.6 mm Figure 3 4 QUESTION 4 A 360UB56.7 beam-column of Grade 300 steel shown in Figure 4 is subjected to the design axial compressive force of 150 kN, major axis (x-axis) end moments of 120 kNm and 100 kNm that cause reverse curvature bending, and minor axis (y-axis) end moments of 50 kNm and 50 kNm causing single curvature bending. Le = 8m for column and beam buckling. Determine the out-of-plane member capacity of this beam-column. I_ 172 mm -I 360UB56.7 Grade 300 x 8.0mm 359mm 13.0 mm y Figure 4 5
