Question
A rolled *I*-section beam is supported on a wide bearing plate as shown in the figure. Thicknesses of flange and web of the *I*-section are and , respectively. Root radius of the *I*-section is . Assume: material yield stress, and partial safety factor for material, .
As per IS: 800-2007, the web bearing strength (in , round off to 2 decimal places) of the beam is _______
Correct answer
272.6 to 272.8
Solution
According to IS 800:2007, the web bearing strength () is given by:Where:
- is the width of the bearing plate =
- is the dispersion length through the flange and root radius, calculated as
- is the thickness of the flange =
- is the root radius =
- is the thickness of the web =
- is the yield stress of the web =
- is the partial safety factor for material =
