Proposea suitablesectionto fit the requirements
below:-

o The beam should be able to carry the uniform unfactoreddead load of 35 kN/m and
unfactoredlive load of 25kN/m alongthe beam
o The depth ofthe beamshouldnot exceed500 mm
o The beam is fully restrainedwith both endsconnectedto the column by a pin jointed
connection.
o Usesteelofgrade 3355.
