7-34. The beam is constructed from three boards. If it is subjected to a shear of V = 5 kip, determine the maximum allowable spacings of the nails used to hold the top and bottom flanges to the web. Each nail can support a shear force of 500 lb. 0 0 10 in. 1.5 in. 12 in. V 1 in. 6 in. 1.5 in.

A beam is part of the framing system for the floor of an office building. The floor is subjected to both dead loads and live loads. The maximum moment caused by the service dead load is 45 ft-kips, and the maximum moment for the service live load is 63 ft-kips (these moments occur at the same location on the beam and can therefore be combined). a. If load and resistance factor design is used, determine the maximum factored bending moment (required moment strength). What is the controlling AISC load combination? b. What is the required nominal moment strength for a resistance factor of 0.90? c. If allowable strength design is used, determine the required moment strength. What is the controlling AISC lead combination? d. What is the required nominal moment strength for a safety factor of 1.67?

Determine the smallest value of yield stress Fy, for which a W-, M-, or S-shape from Part 1 of the Manual will become slender. To which shapes does this value apply? What conclusion can you draw from your answer?

A W1422 acts compositely with a 4-inch-thick floor slab whose effective width b is 90 inches. The beams are spaced at 7 feet 6 inches, and the span length is 30 feet. The superimposed loads are as follows: construction load = 20 psf, partition load = 10 psf, weight of ceiling and light fixtures = 5 psf, and live load = 60 psf, A992 steel is used, and fc=4 ksi. Determine whether the flexural strength is adequate. a. Use LRFD. b. Use ASD.
