If the joists are spaced a distance d m apart then each joist carries a uniformly distributed
load of intensity 16d kN/m. Since each joist is a simply supported beam the maximum

S.9.5 With the two loads symmetrically positioned on the beam the support reactions are equal

A Universal Beam, 254 mm 3 102 mm 3 22 kg/m has a section modulus of 225.4 cm3,
the least available. Now check to allow for its self-weight. The self-weight of the beam is
equivalent to a uniformly distributed load along its complete length. From Ex. 3.8,
the maximum bending moment due to self-weight is then equal to 22 3 9.81 3 1023 3
