A 10 m long built-up beam is to be fabricated from a


A 10 m long built-up beam is to be fabricated from a universal section beam (UB) and two 'C' channel sections (as indicated). The beams are joined by bolts, with the allowable shear load in each bolt being 12 kN. The simply supported built-up beam is to carry a uniformly distributed load of 20 kN/m across the entire length of the beam.

Determine the required bolt spacing in the longitudinal 'x' direction of the beam.
