AW 530 x 101 is used as a simply supported beam with a span of 6 m and carries a uniform service dead load of 50 kN/m and a uniform live load of 85 kN/m. Design the bearing plate at the end supports using A36 steel with Fy 248 MPa. Assume the bearing plate will fully cover the concrete support, f' 20.7 MPa. Solve using LRFD and ASD methods. Properties of W 530 x 101 = 17.4 mm 1. A = 12,900 mm d = 536 mm tw = 10.9 mm Find the length of the bearing plate. 2. Find the width of the bearing plate. 3. Find the thickness of the bearing plate. b = 210 mm k = 30.22 mm
