Question 42
CENAT2 marksNeeds review
The flange and web plates of the doubly symmetric built-up section are connected by continuous 10 mm thick fillet welds as shown in the figure (not drawn to the scale). The moment of inertia of the section about its principal axis X–X is
. The permissible shear stress in the fillet welds is 100 N/mm
. The design shear strength of the section is governed by the capacity of the fillet welds. 
The maximum shear force (in kN, round off to one decimal place) that can be carried by the section, is _____.
