A bearing plate is to be designed for a W21x62, A36 steel beam that will sit on a reinforced concrete wall (fc-21 MPa) 200 mm thick. The bearing plate material has Fy = 345 MPa. The end reactions are a service dead load of 150 kN and live load of 300 kN. Determine the following using LRFD: 1. Minimum length of bearing plate to prevent web yielding, N _? mm. Round up by 10 mm or 25 mm.

Load and resistance factor design

Load and resistance factors design (LRFD), also known as Limit state design (LSD), refers to the design method used in building engineering. A boundary condition is a condition of a structure where it can no longer meet the relevant design requirements. The condition may refer to the load level or other actions on the structure, while the terms refer to the integrity of the structure, suitability for use, durability, or other design requirements. A structure designed for LRFD is limited to keeping track of all possible actions during its design time and is always ready for use, with the appropriate level of reliability in each boundary condition. LRFD-based construction codes clearly define the appropriate levels of reliability in their instructions.
