Question: A compound girder is built up from a standard I - beam with 2 5 0 mm times 3 0 mm steel plate welded

A compound girder is built up from a standard I-beam with 250 mm\times 30 mm steel plate welded onto the flange as shown. The girder simply supported over 10 m.(a) What is the maximum uniformly distributed load (in addition to self-weight) that can be applied to the beam if the stresses in bending and shear are not to exceed the values given below?(b) What is the minimum weld thickness required to join the plates to the beam without overstress?Design Data:Mass steel: 7800 kg/m3.Allowable shear stress: 75 MPa.Allowable bending stress: 110 MPa.Allowable shear stress in weld throat: 55 MPa.All dimensions are in mm.
