art 1 The simply supported beam below is initially designed to undertake a concentrated factored live bad of 45 kips (215 kN). Assume that the beam is laterally supported and the self weight eglected. Use: A992 steel (Fy= 50 ksi or 345 MPa) E = 29 x 10° psi (200 GPa), the maximum allowable deflection Aall = L/360 45 kips

Transcribed Image Text:Part 1
The simply supported beam below is initially designed to undertake a concentrated factored live
load of 45 kips (215 kN). Assume that the beam is laterally supported and the self weight
neglected. Use: A992 steel (Fy= 50 ksi or 345 MPa) E = 29 x 10® psi (200 GPa), the maximum
allowable deflection Aall = L/360
45 kips

1/ Determine the most economical W shape beam required
Part 2
The most economical selected beam from Part 1 ends up being subjected to a concentrated live
load of 20 kip.
Determine the corresponding maximum live load deflection.
Part 3
Assuming that the beam will only be braced laterally at the supports and every quarter spam
points (8ft from each support), verify whether the chosen cross section still checks under the live
load of 20 kips only. If not, what are your design recommendations?
