Question: 1 . 1 The box section in Figure Q 1 ( a ) is for a beam made of structural steel. Find the maximum shear

1.1 The box section in Figure Q1(a) is for a beam made of structural steel. Find the maximum
shear load that the section can carry for a safety factor of 1.2. All dimensions are in mm .
1.2 If the beam is fabricated as shown in Figure Q1(b) using screws with a shear strength of
950 N , find the optimum spacing for the screws when the beam carries a maximum shear
load as determined in 1.2
For the structural steel, E=200GPa,Y=240MPa,TY=150MPa and v=0.3.
