Stiffener Beam Sizing Calculation for Bottom Plate

U.D.L on stiffner section w = Pd x b + unit weight of used beam

= 9.52 kN/m
length of beam(total length has been considered) Lbeam = 575 mm
Considering UDL on simply supported Beam;
Bending Moment on stiffener section Mbeam = w x L2 / 8
Mbeam = 0.394 kN-m
Minimum required section modulus Z = Mbeam/Sa
