A bridge girder AB on a simple span of length L = 20 m supports a distributed load of maximum intensity q at midspan and minimum intensity q/2 at supports A and B that includes the weight of the girder (see figure). The girder is constructed of three plates welded to form the cross section shown. (a) Determine the maximum permissible load q based upon an allowable bending stress sigma = 140 MPa. Round to the nearest tenth. qmax = ___ kN/m (b) Determine the maximum permissible load q based upon an allowable shear stress Tau = 60 MPa. Round to the nearest tenth. qmax = ___ kN/m
