Question
A simply supported beam with a span of 8 m is subjected to
a counterclockwise moment at the left support and a
counterclockwise moment at the right support equal to
150% of the moment at the left support. The beam is not
restrained against lateral buckling. The beam is A36 steel
with Fy = 248 MPa. The beam is W 21 x 62. Refer to AISC
%3D
Shapes Database for the section properties.
a. Determine the slenderness ratio, below which the
beam is short with respect to lateral buckling.
b. Determine the allowable flexural stress in compression
flange.
c. Determine the maximum value of the moment at the
left support.
