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.
Use the composite beam tables and select a W-shape and stud anchors for the following conditions: Span length = 18 6 Beam spacing = 9 ft Total slab thickness = 51 2 in. (the slab and deck combination weighs 57 psf). Lightweight concrete with a unit weight of 115 pcf is used Construction load = 20 psf Partition load = 20 psf Live load = 225 psf Fy=50 ksi and fc=4 ksi A cross section of the formed steel deck is shown in Figure P9.8-9. The maximum live-load deflection cannot exceed L/360 (use a lower-bound moment of inertia). a. Use LRFD. b. User ASD.
Determine the smallest value of yield stress Fy, for which a W-, M-, or S-shape from Part 1 of the Manual will become slender. To which shapes does this value apply? What conclusion can you draw from your answer?
A column in a building is subjected to the following load effects: 9 kips compression from dead load 5 kips compression from roof live load 6 kips compression from snow 7 kips compression from 3 inches of rain accumulated on the roof 8 kips compression from wind a.

A beam must be designed to the following specifications: Span length = 35 ft Beam spacing = 10 ft 2-in. deck with 3 in. of lightweight concrete fill (wc=115 pcf) for a total depth of t=5 in. Total weight of deck and slab = 51 psf Construction load = 20 psf Partition load = 20 psf Miscellaneous dead load = 10 psf Live load = 80 psf Fy=50 ksi, fc=4 ksi Assume continuous lateral support and use LRFD. a. Design a noncomposite beam. Compute the total deflection (there is no limit to be checked). b. Design a composite beam and specify the size and number of stud anchors required. Assume one stud at each beam location. Compute the maximum total deflection as follows: 1. Use the transformed section. 2. Use the lower-bound moment of inertia.
Note For Problems 9.6-1 through 9.6-5, use the lower-bound moment of inertia for deflection of the composite section. Compute this as illustrated in Example 9.7. 9.6-3 For the beam of Problem 9.3-1, a. Compute the deflections that occur before and after the concrete has cured. b. If the live-load deflection exceeds L360 , select another steel shape using either LRFD or ASD.
