Critical Ratio for Shear = 1000/354283 = 0.003 < 0.6
The deflection pattern is of simply supported type and Bending Class is Semi-Compact.
Thus, CAN = 0.0, and b = 0.471
Mdy1 = 1.343E+07 Nmm < 1.2*Zey*FYLD/mo = 1.61E+07 N.mm
Design bending strength = Mdy = 13.43 kN.m

Interaction Check:
Check for Section Strength to the combined effects of loading (As per Section 9.3.1)
Axial strength = Nd = 1219545.455 N

Thus, Mndy = 13430458.33 N.mm
Mndz(1) = 8.24E+07 N.mm > Mdz
Thus, Mndz = 75074791 N.mm
Since the section is a Channel-section, as per table 17, Clause 9.3.1.1
1' = 5.58E-02 < 1
Thus, 1 = 1 and 2 = 2
Interaction Ratio (For Semi-Compact Section) = 0.915 < 1.0
