Problem 2.
A beam 10 m long simply supported 1 m from each end. It is made of two C 380 x 50 channels
riveted back to back and used with the webs vertical. Determine the total uniformly distributed
load that can be carried along its entire length without exceeding a flexural stress of 120 MPs.

Solution:
𝑅1 = 𝑅2 = 5 𝑊

𝑀𝐵 = 2
(1)(− 𝑊) =− 0. 5 𝑊 𝑁. 𝑚

𝑀𝐸 = − 0. 5 𝑊 + 2
(4𝑊)(4)
𝑀𝐸 = 7. 5 𝑊 𝑁. 𝑚
𝑀𝐶 = − 0. 5𝑊
𝑚𝑎𝑥1 𝑀 = 7. 5 𝑊

W = 21,948 N/m

Conclusion:
The calculation for the 21,948 N/m load is based on the maximum allowable flexural stress of
the beam. By analyzing the beam, which consists of two C 380 x 50 channels and is simply
supported, the support reactions and maximum bending moment are determined. The section
3 3 𝑀
modulus 𝑆𝑋 = 687 𝑥 10 𝑚𝑚 for each channel is used in the flexural stress formula 𝑓 = 𝑆
where 𝑓 is the allowable stress (120 MPa), 𝑀 is the maximum moment, and 𝑆 is the section
modulus. Solving this equation gives the maximum uniformly distributed load the beam can
support, which is 21,948 N/m, ensuring the stress remains within the safe limit of 120 MPa.
