A W14x section of A992, Gr. 50 steel is to be selected for a building column with a factored design load of 1500 kips. The height between floors is 15 ft. Framing into the column, on either side, are floor beams. W16x50 sections are used for the lower floor beams and W16x40 are used for the upper floor beams. All beam lengths are 25 ft. Assume the column you select will also be used for the floor immediately above and below the floor under consideration and with the same story height. All members beam and buckle about their strong axis. Consider both a braced and unbraced frame (2 column selections). Use the alignment charts (or approximate equations) and relative stiffness G for both the braced and unbraced conditions.

Design criteria for structural loading

The different loads such as loads due to self-weight (dead load) and external loads such as live load, wind loads, seismic load, snow load, and other loads and load combinations that influence the design of a building are called structural loading. The nature of the applied load differs from changes in the location, design, and type of materials used. The design criteria require that structures must be designed and constructed to be able to withstand all load types that are expected to act upon the structure and render its usage for the designated purpose. The structural members such as beams, slabs, columns, and foundations help the structure to withstand the applied load. There are different institutes such as ASCE and ACI that provide building design codes to assure minimum safety requirements and quality of the structures.

Question

AW14X section of A992, Gr. 50 steel is to be selected for a building column with a factored
design load of 1500 kips. The height between floors is 15 ft. Framing into the column, on
either side, are floor beams. W16x50 sections are used for the lower floor beams and
W16x40 are used for the upper floor beams. All beam lengths are 25 ft. Assume the column
you select will also be used for the floor immediately above and below the floor under
consideration and with the same story height. All members beam and buckle about their
strong axis. Consider both a braced and unbraced frame (2 column selections). Use the
alignment charts (or approximate equations) and relative stiffness G for both the braced and
unbraced conditions.

, Two identical steel I beams are being welded together to form a larger stronger beam. Two possibilities are being considered. Determine which provides the greater section modulus for bending about the z axis. Use W8x13 beams for the analysis.
A reinforced concrete cantilever beam is shown below. The beam cross section is a rectangle, 12 inches deep by 18 inches wide. Material properties are: - Concrete weight: wt = 150 pcf - Concrete compressive strength: f'c = 4000 psi - Concrete tensile strength: f't = 400 psi - Steel tensile strength: fy = 60 ksi - Stirrup consists of #4 bar - Beam is not exposed to weather or in contact with soil. Determine if the beam will crack under its own weight, if its self-weight is 250lb/ft. 10 ft -18" BEAM SECTION beam will crack beam will not crack unknown, not enough information to calculate
An A36 W14X605 simply supported steel beam with span “L” carries a concentrated service liveload “PLL” at midspan. The beam is laterally supported at supports and its midspan. Consider its beam selfweight to be its service deadload, “w” (use ASEP steel manual for selfweight, w and other section properties). In checking section's compactness, calculate the upper limit for non-compact web category? Express your answer in 2 decimal places.
Question 4: Select an appropriate W310 section of ASTM A992 steel (F, = 345 MPa) as the beam-column in an unbraced frame subjected to the factored loads, including biaxial bending moments, as shown in Fig. 4. The beam-column is laterally braced at the two ends only. (Hint: I would start with W310x118 and then decide if this is an appropriate choice or a heavier/lighter section is necessary depending on the outcome of checking interaction equations.) 1040 kN 1040 kN 125 kNm 85 kNm W310 W310 7000 %3D II 235 kNm 50 kNm 1040 kN 1040 kN Figure 4
