What can go wrong ? STEEL BEAMS: • Bending failure • Lateral torsional buckling • Shear failure • Bearing failure (web crippling) • Excessive deflections
Bending Strength Linear elastic stresses y M Design Equation: Where Fb is the characteristic bending strength For steel this is Fb = Fy For timber it is Fb = fb (KDKHKSbKT)
Fy Fy Ac C My Mp a T At Plastic moment capacity of steel beams Yield moment Plastic moment Which is the definition of the plastic section modulus Z Z can be found by halving the cross-sectional area and multiplying the distance between the centroids of the two areas with one of the areas This is also called the first moment of area So, when do we use the one or the other ??
Steel beam design equation For laterally supported beams (no lateral torsional buckling) Mr = Fy Z for class 1 and 2 sections Mr = Fy S for class 3 sections where = 0.9

Deflections • A serviceability criterion • Avoid damage to cladding etc. (Δ ≤ L/180) • Avoid vibrations (Δ ≤ L/360) • Aesthetics (Δ ≤ L/240) • Use unfactored loads • Typically not part of the code • Δ
