Effective Cantilever Length                  
Assume wheel width = 1" and point load Pw acting at 0.5" offset from flange tip  
For W shape                  
  La = bf /2 -k1 - 0.5" (12.7mm) = Label [mm]  
For S shape

  La = 0.5 x ( bf - tw ) - R -0.5"(12.7mm) = Label [mm]  
                   
Effective Bottom Flange Bending Width            
The effective bottom flange bending width is taken as be=2xLa as per answer to Bottom Flange Bending Capacity by David T. Ricker P.E. in AISC Modern Steel Construction Feb 2005
 
Effective flange bending width be = 2 x La   = Label [mm]
