  9. When the ratio of the moment M to axial load P is greater than, the resultant of the compressive bearing pressure which acts at a distance Y from one side, is given by


  10. Under a concentrated load, bearing stress fb in a beam, is given by (where b is the length of the bearing plate and h is the depth of the root of the fillet).


  11. If R is the reaction on the bearing plate, the minimum moment of. inertia of the bearing stiffener provided at the support of a plate girder of overall depth D, the maximum thickness of the compression flange T, carrying total load W, is


  12. A beam may be designed as a cased beam if

  13. A.
    section is of double open channel form with the webs not less than 40 mm apart
