A Beam is built up from the following plates. 450mm x  20mm as flanges and 500mm x 20mm as web. All plates are A36 steel with Fy=248 MPa and the flanges are continuously connected to web by means of fillet welds. The beam has a simple span of 4m. Laterally supported only at supports with total uniform load of 500 kN/m. Is the beam safe for bending
