Maximum live load bending moment with impact = 1.25 ×2231.47 = 2790 kN – m
Maximum dead load bending moment at the section of maximum LLBM
= 35 × 6.31 – 4.67 × 6.312/2 = 128 kN – m
Total maximum bending moment = 2790 + 128 = 2918 kN – m
Transverse load per wheel = (1/4)[(1/10)(140+500)] = 16 kN [due to braking of crab unit; Cl. 6.3.c.1 of IS: 875(II)]
Maximum transverse SF = (16/420)×707 = 27 kN
Maximum transverse BM = (16/420)×2232 = 86 kN – m.

Capacity Md = 1.0 × 7.856 × 106 × 209.1 N – mm = 1643 kN – m
Limiting bending moment developed = 1.5 × 86 = 129 kN – m << 1643 kN – m (O.K.)
Now, interaction check: (cl. 9.3.1.1, pg 70)
Now, N = 1.5 × 42 = 63 KN; Nd = Agfy / γm0 =14050.9 kN [since, Ag = 67200 mm2, fy = 230 Mpa, γm0 = 1.1 (Table
5, pg 30)]
N/Nd + My/Mdy + Mz/Mdz = (63/14050.9) + (4377/5952) + (129/1643) = 0.818 < 1.0 (O.K.)
Steel grade used here as E250 (Fe410W)A, as tw = 8 mm and fy = 250 Mpa, so, εf = (250/fy)0.5 = 1.0 [from Table 1]
From Cl. 8.6.1.2 of IS: 800 – 2007, pg 64; d/tw =1200/8 = 150 < 345 (εf )2 = 345.
So, compression flange buckling will not occur.
Now, refer, Cl. 8.7.4, pg 67; Fw = (b1+n2)twfyw/ γm0
Let, b1 = 200 mm, n2 = 2 × 2.5 × 40 = 200
Local capacity of web at connection = Fw = (200+200) × 8 × 250/1.1 = 727.3 × 103 N = 727.3 kN
Factored reaction = 1.5 × 919 = 1379 kN > 727 kN
So, end stiffeners will be required.

Check for deflection:
From Cl.8.6.1., pg 63, c = 600 mm and d = 1200 mm.
Here, C < d; d/tw = 1200/8 = 150 < 270 εw = 270 × 1.0 = 270
So, deflection is O.K.
Thank You.
