Task: 3
Slenderness ratio k = l
r =185.8
5.18 =35.86
Value of slenderness is less than 200 which is safe for the design point of view. If the slenderness
value greater than 200 so that there are higher chance to get failed.
This I section beam is short because of safe operation with respect to y-directional length.
