Question: A bridge girder AB on a simple span of length L = 14 m supports a distributed load of maximum intensity q at mid span

A bridge girder AB on a simple span of length L = 14 m supports a distributed load of maximum intensity q at mid span and minimum intensity q/2 at supports A and B that includes the weight of the girder (see figure).
The girder is constructed of three plates welded to form the cross section shown.
Determine the maximum permissible load q based upon
(a) An allowable bending stress σallow = 110 MPa and
(b) An allowable shear stress τallow = 50 MPa.
