Calculate the bending stress at a location 30mm below the neutral axis. Indicate whether they are compressive or tensile. Question 3 Calculate the effective section modulus Ze of the section and hence the section moment capacity φMs of the following section made of Grade 300, heavily-welded plates. 12 140 360 12 410 140 10 All dimensions in mm Department of Civil Engineering, Monash University Edition Date: 3/2023 CIV3294: Structural Design Introduction to Steel Design, Section Classification and Bending Capacity Question 4 Complete the table below for the steel sections shown.

Sx is about 1.7% large than that in the table. Iy and Zy are about 1.7% larger than those in the table. Sy is about 1.3% larger than that in the table. Reason: corners are not considered. e) Bending stress at top = Mx/Zx = 176 MPa (in compression), bending stress at 30mm below NA = 70 MPa (in tension).
