(From STAAD Analysis)
Shear Stress = 72 N/mm2

Allowable Stresses:
Maximum allowable:
Yield Stress = 250 N/mm2
d1 = 40 cm
t=tw = 2.5 cm
d1/t = 16
< 80

Maximum Allowable bending tension = -163 N/mm2

Maximum Allowable bending compression = 163 N/mm2
Maximum Allowable Axial Compression = 154 N/mm2
Average Allowable Shear = 94 N/mm2

Allowable Compression Stress from buckling consideration:

Effective length of compression flange, le = 1140 cm

 rmin = 10.8 cm
l/rmin = 105.555555556
Hence OK

P (As per Table II) = 178 N/mm2

As per Table IV, Pac = 75 N/mm2

Allowable bending compression stress from buckling conisderation:

Effective thinckness of compression flange, = 2.5 cm
d1 = 40 cm
t tw = 2.5 cm
d1/t = 16 < 85 OK
te/t = 1 <2 OK

Effective length of compression flange, le = 1140 cm Cl. 5.4.2.1 (a) or IRSSBC

D = 45 cm
D/te = 18
ry = 10.8 cm
l/ry = 105
< 300 as per cl: 5.3 IRSSBC

Critical Stress, Cs =A = 395 N/mm2 Table VII of IRSSBC

Therefore:
