Problem# 1. A cantilever beam made of IPE200 is subjected to a concentrated live load of 10 kN (P₁=10 kN) in addition to its self-weight, WD-3 kN/m, as shown below. (a) Find design flexural strength, Mn, considering plastic hinge formation limit state only and check if the beam has enough capacity to support factored loads. Use LRFD. (b) Check if the beam has sufficent shear strength. Use ASD. AWAAV Self weight, WD=3 kN/m IPE200 L=2 m Fig. 1. A cantilevered beam Live load, PL=10 KN Given: E=200,000 MPa Fy=235 MPa

Design criteria for structural loading

The different loads such as loads due to self-weight (dead load) and external loads such as live load, wind loads, seismic load, snow load, and other loads and load combinations that influence the design of a building are called structural loading. The nature of the applied load differs from changes in the location, design, and type of materials used. The design criteria require that structures must be designed and constructed to be able to withstand all load types that are expected to act upon the structure and render its usage for the designated purpose. The structural members such as beams, slabs, columns, and foundations help the structure to withstand the applied load. There are different institutes such as ASCE and ACI that provide building design codes to assure minimum safety requirements and quality of the structures.
