INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this design is to check the adequacy of IPE 220 beams as secondary beams against a live
loading of 15kN/m2.

2. DESIGN ASSUMPTIONS
2.1 The beams are checked using MATHCAD spreadsheet for the local stress caused by in-service loading.

2.2 Design checks are performed according to AISC - Specification for Structural Steel Buildings, Allowable
Stress Design and Plastic Design
