Activity 2: The civil engineering company has made a mistake in referencing some aspects of an l-beam which is being used in the expansion work, and the Senior Engineer wants to make a point about quality control, He has included the next task so that he can make a tongue in cheek response to the civil engineer responsible for the mistake. Task 2 a) Though research, explain what factors need to be considered if you intend to replace an existing solid rectangular beam with an equivalent I beam as shown in Figure 5. It can be assumed that the loading conditions and that the surface stresses in the equivalent I beam remain the same as the original rec- tangular beam.
