Question

Transcribed Image Text:A W14 X 82 of 50 ksi steel is to be investigated for use as a beam-column
in an unbraced frame. The length is 14 feet. First-order analyses of the
frame were performed for both the sway and the nonsway cases. The
factored loads and moments corresponding to one of the load combina-
tions to be investigated are given for this member in the following table:
Type of analysis
Mtop (ft-kips)
Mbot (ft-kips)
Nonsway
45
Sway
40
P₁(kips)
400
24
95
Bending is about the strong axis, and all moments cause double-curvature
bending (all end moments are in the same direction, that is, all clockwise
or all counterclockwise). The following values are also available from the
results of a preliminary design:
Pe story = 40,000 kips, Pstory = 6,000 kips
Use K = 1.0 (nonsway case), K = 1.7 (sway case), and K, = 1.0. Use LRFD
and determine whether this member satisfies the provisions of the AISC
Specification for the given load combination.
