Transcribed Image Text:A W21x93 wide flange structural steel member, shown in Fig. 1, is a part of a braced frame. The
member is laterally braced (braced about weak axis bending) at the supports and at midpoint (B).
Check whether a W21x93 section is adequate to support the loadings shown in Fig.1. The Load
Combinations (L.C.s) are:
L.C. = 1.2D + 1.0E + 0.5L and/or
L.C.= 1.2D + 1.6L
