Situation 1:

A W 24 x 103 is used as a beam that is simply supported at its ends. The properties of the section is as follows:

d = 623.10 mm Ix = 1,248,694,000,000 mm4

tw = 14.00 mm Sx = 4,008,005 mm3
bf = 228.60 mm rx = 252.74 mm
tf = 24.90 mm Iy = 49,532,000,000 mm4
A = 19,548.00 mm2 Sy = 433,350.83 mm4
W = 153.76 kg/m ry = 50.34 mm
rt = 59.18 mm

The beam is laterally supported at supports only. Use F y = 248 MPa.

1. Determine the allowable bending stress for a length of 2 m.

2. Determine the allowable bending stress for a length of 4 m.
3. Determine the allowable bending stress for a length of 9 m.
Situation 2:

A36 steel beam having a simple span of 7m is laterally unsupported and the section has the following properties:

bf = 210 mm
d = 530 mm
tf = 16 mm
tw = 18 mm

The beam is restrained against lateral buckling only at the supports.

1. Find rt
2. Find the slenderness ratio
3. Find the allowable bending stress.
