Question: ( c ) An approximation to one panel of profiled steel sheeting is shown in Figure Q 2 . The sheet is 1 . 2

(c) An approximation to one panel of profiled steel sheeting is shown in Figure Q2. The sheet is 1.2 mm thick and the design yreld strength is 280Nmm2. It is to be used to resist a sagging bending moment. It can be assumed that the web is fully effective in resisting bending.
Points to note:
Stiffener shown above is located at the middle of the plate;
It should be assumed that the stiffener is effective in preventing buckling at the middle of the plate but otherwise it should be neglected when deriving the resistance;
As the steel sheeting is relatively thin, calculations can be based on overall dimensions as shown above.
Figure Q2(Not to scale).
Evaluate the design moment of resistance (Unit: kNmm).
