Student Name : Sumit Patil.

Branch : Machine Design.
Student Id : 232090016.
Girder specifications:

Girder type: Box type for L < 12 m Beam designation: ISWB550.

Material: Structural Steel Cross section: I section
Design stress: 110 MPa Width of flange: 250 mm
Modulus of elasticity: 2E+05 MPa Depth of section: 550 mm
Poisson's ratio: 0.3 Area M.I. about x axis “Ixx”: 74319 cm4
Length of beam: 10 m Weight of beam: 2.5 Tonne

A. Loading Conditions:
1. Boundary conditions used for fixing girder:

Remote displacement:

Displacement:
2. Load due to self weight: 2.5 Tonnes weight of girder.
Applying UDL of 2.5 N/mm throughout the length of girder.

3. External loading:
Applying 31250 N load at two points each.The distance between points is 1.67 m.
B. Deformation Analysis:
Deformation due to self weight and external loading:
Permissible deformation for girder = D = L/900 = 1000/900 = 1.11 cm = 11.1 mm.
Maximum deformation obtained = d = 10.84 mm
As d < D , Deformation is permissible for safe design.

C. Stress Analysis:
1. Bending stress due to self weight and external loading:
Design bending stress = S = 110 MPa
Induced maximum bending stress = s = 59.724 MPa
As s < S , Design is safe in bending failure.
2. Bending moment:
Maximum bending moment : 161.4 E 6 N.mm
Bending stress at external loading point A & B : 144.06 E 6 N.mm.
