A simply supported rolled steel beam, 8 meters in length, is subjected to a uniformly distributed load causing a maximum bending stress of 75 N/mm². Given that the slope at the beam ends is 0.005 radians and the modulus of elasticity E is 0.2 × 10⁶ N/mm², what is the depth of the beam?

Explanation

The beam's depth is determined based on the given maximum bending stress, end slope, and modulus of elasticity. Using these values in the beam deflection and bending stress formulas leads to a calculated depth of 400 mm.
