Question:
A. Pre-calculation and defining the load cases
School of Engineering and the Environment. Coursework Assessment Brief. Page 4 of 5
From a commercial catalogue, select an available I-beam profile that supports the
required load whilst meeting the given design specifications. Define the load cases
that must be considered. For this purpose, use the British Standard BS EN 1991-
3:2006
E. Calculation of the maximum deflection
Find the position of the trolley for which the deflection is maximised and then plot the
deflection diagram for the beam. The deflection constraint for the beam is 10mm.
F. Calculation of the stresses
For the defined load cases and the selected positions estimate the corresponding
stresses. The maximum developed stress in the beam should not exceed the yield
stress of the material selected for the beam.
G. Check adequacy with respect to the constraints
Based on the given stress and displacement constraints, decide whether the selected
beam profile is acceptable. To check the Ultimate Limit State of the bridge girder, use
the following equation:

where ???????? is the design value of the local longitudinal stress at the point of
consideration, ???????? is the design value of the local transverse stress at the point of
consideration, ???? is the design value of the local shear stress at the point of
consideration, ???????? is the yield stress of the selected material, and ????????0 is the partial factor
of safety which should be taken as 1.1.
