    uniformly distributed load of 20kN/m throughout its length

    Given

    Girder properties

    Section = 2460 x 97kg/m

    Area = 12320 mm2

    Depth = 465 mm

    face of the web x= 29 mm. column height = 4 m and effective

    length factor k = 1.0 both axes. The major x-axis of the

    channel is the x -axis of the built-up column.
