A welded steel girder having the cross section shown in the figure is fabricated of two 300mm x 25mm flange plates and a 800mm x 16mm web plate. The plates are joined by four fillet welds that run continuously for the length of the girder. Each weld has an allowable load in shear of 920kN/m.
Calculate the maximum allowable shear force Vmax for the girder.
