1.5 Basic permissible stresses in the structural steel as per Table-II of IRS Steel Bridge Code
Allowable stress for bending = 1500.000
Allowable stress for Shear = 870.000

1.6 bending strength of member

At top flange ### x 1500.000 = 160.254
At Bottom flange ### x 1500.000 = 362.302

Hence Max bending strength = 160.254
