Given
w=40kN (Service load)
leff=40(of beam)
Required - Design laterally supported beam
factored load=40×1.5=60kN
w=604(leff)=15kN/m
Step I determine max factor shear face (v) and Bm(m) for given loading and support condition
v=wl2=15×42=30kN
m=wl28=15×428=30kN.m

Step II Trial section
zpreq=m.reqfy
=(30×106)×1.1250
Zpreq=132×103mm3
ISMB175 zp=166.08×103mm3
h=175 bf=90mm tf=8.6
tw=5.5 r=10
IZ=12.75×104mm4
Ze=Zxx=145.4×103mm3 …
