Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a beam to carry a total load of 12 kN/m over a span of 6 m. Calculate the bending moment, select a suitable section, and justify your selection.
💡 Hint: Don’t forget to cross-check with provided section tables.
A beam in a high-rise building has a loading scenario of 15 kN/m and spans 8 m. Analyze its design and propose lateral bracing measures.
💡 Hint: Use actual design codes as guidelines for lateral bracing.
