Beam example 1 Rolled Universal Beam using Design Tables Problem

Determine the cross-section classification and moment resistance for a 5.73 x 210 x 82 U K B when used as a beam in ( I ) S275 steel and (2) S355 steel.
(1) Using S27S steel

From Reference 2, page C-66, cross-section is Class I and Mc.,.RII = 566 k N m Alternatively, from Reference 2, page B-4: cl/tr = 6.58, c J t , = 49.6, W,,,,, = 2060 cm' Yield strength f , = 275N/mmz since ti = 13.2mm 1 1 6 m m
