Lateral restraint
Span 1 has full lateral restraint
Effective length factors
Effective length factor in m ajor axis; K x = 1.00
Effective length factor in m inor axis; K y = 1.00
Effective length factor for lateral-torsional buckling; K LT.A = 1.00;
Classification of cross sections - Section 3.5
 = [275 N/m m 2 / p y ] = 1.00

Internal com pression parts - Table 11

Depth of section; d = 219 m m
d / t = 36.5   <= 80  ; Class 1 plastic

Outstand flanges - Table 11

W idth of section; b = B / 2 = 73.1 m m
b / T = 8.5   <= 9  ; Class 1 plastic
Section is class 1 plastic
Shear capacity - Section 4.2.3
Design shear force; F v = m ax(abs(V max), abs(V min )) = 48.7 kN
d / t < 70  
Web does not need to be checked for shear buckling
Shear area; A v = t  D = 1508 m m 2
Design shear resistance; P v = 0.6  p y  A v = 248.9 kN
PASS - Design shear resistance exceeds design shear force
M om ent capacity - Section 4.2.5
Design bending m om ent; M = m ax(abs(M s1_max), abs(M s1_min )) = 54.8 kNm
Moment capacity low shear - cl.4.2.5.2; M c = m in(p y  S xx, 1.2  p y  Z xx) = 108.1 kNm
PASS - Moment capacity exceeds design bending moment
Check vertical deflection - Section 2.5.2
Consider deflection due to im posed loads
Lim iting deflection;; lim = L s1 / 360 = 12.5 m m
Maxim um deflection span 1;  = m ax(abs(max), abs(min )) = 1.888 m m
PASS - Maximum deflection does not exceed deflection limit
