Verify the value of Zx for a W1850 that is tabulated in the dimensions and properties tables in Part 1 of the Manual.
A W1422 acts compositely with a 4-inch-thick floor slab whose effective width b is 90 inches. The beams are spaced at 7 feet 6 inches, and the span length is 30 feet. The superimposed loads are as follows: construction load = 20 psf, partition load = 10 psf, weight of ceiling and light fixtures = 5 psf, and live load = 60 psf, A992 steel is used, and fc=4 ksi. Determine whether the flexural strength is adequate. a. Use LRFD. b. Use ASD.
Compute the nominal shear strength of an M107.5 of A572 Grad 65 steel.
using Figure 5-27, what is the advantage of the suspended type magnet over the other two types of magnets?
A plate girder must be designed for the conditions shown in Figure P10.7-4. The given loads are factored, and the uniformly distributed load includes a conservative estimate of the girder weight. Lateral support is provided at the ands and at the load points. Use LRFD for that following: a. Select the, flange and web dimensions so that intermediate stiffeners will he required. Use Fy=50 ksi and a total depth of 50 inches. Bearing stiffeners will be used at the ends and at the load points, but do not proportion them. b. Determine the locations of the intermediate stiffeners, but do not proportion them.
The frame shown in Figure P4.7-8 is unbraced, and bending is about the x-axis of the members. All beams areW1835, and all columns areW1054. a. Determine the effective length factor Kx for column AB. Do not consider the stiffness reduction factor. b. Determine the effective length factor Kx for column BC. Do not consider the stiffness reduction factor. c. If Fy=50 ksi, is the stiffness reduction factor applicable to these columns?
The data in Table 1.5.3 were obtained from a tensile test of a metal specimen with a rectangular cross section of 0.2011in.2 in area and a gage length (the length over which the elongation is measured) of 2.000 inches. The specimen was not loaded to failure. a. Generate a table of stress and strain values. b. Plot these values and draw a best-fit line to obtain a stress-strain curve. c. Determine the modulus of elasticity from the slope of the linear portion of the curve. d. Estimate the value of the proportional limit. e. Use the 0.2 offset method to determine the yield stress.
