A simply supported rolled steel joist 8 m long carries a uniformly distributed load over it span so that the maximum bending stress is 75 N/mm2. If the slope at the ends is 0.005 radian and the value of E = 0.2 x 106 N/mm2, the depth of the joist, is
200 mm
250 mm
300 mm
350 mm
400 mm

Slope = wl^3/24EI.
0.05 = wl^3/24EI.
I = wl^3/24000.

We know that,
F/Y = M/I
here F = 75N/mm2.
Y = d/2.
l = 8000mm.
So, 75/(d/2) = ((wl^2)/8)/(wl^3/24000).
75/(d/2) = 24000/(8*8000),
75/(d/2) = 0.375,
d/2= 75/0.375,
d/2 = 200,
d = 400mm.

Slope = wl3/24EI.
Moment = wl2/8.
Stress = M/Z.
z = bd2/6.
I = bd3/12.
Slope/stress.
You got depth and it is 250.

@Ranjitha

how I = 80000mm? please explain.

@Mtiaz.

Here, length is 8m which is 8000mm.
