Question
For this exercise consider the single-bay building framing plan shown below, which you have
considered previously. It has been decided to change from concrete framing to structural steel framing.
A steel deck and concrete slab with a total thickness of five inches spans between the steel beams, and
the steel beams are supported by steel girders along two edges. Assume all beams and girders are
simple span and design the interior beams and edge girders. Use a design live load of 80 pounds per
square foot. The slab dead load is 70 pounds per square foot, which includes the weight of the slab,
beams, girders, and superimposed dead loads (mechanical, ceiling, floor finish, etc.).
The beams may be assumed to have continuous lateral support from the floor slab. The girders should
be assumed to be braced only by the beams (i.e., unbraced length equals beam spacing).
The columns supporting the framing have been designed and do not need to be considered. Use steel
yield strength Fy = 50 ksi for beams and girders. Consider only flexure in the design of the members.
