The truss consists of three members, each made from A- 36 steel and having a cross- sectional area of 0.75 in². Determine the greatest load P that can be applied so that the roller support at B is not displaced more than 0.03 in. A C P 16 ft 16 ft B 16 ft

A beam is part of the framing system for the floor of an office building. The floor is subjected to both dead loads and live loads. The maximum moment caused by the service dead load is 45 ft-kips, and the maximum moment for the service live load is 63 ft-kips (these moments occur at the same location on the beam and can therefore be combined). a. If load and resistance factor design is used, determine the maximum factored bending moment (required moment strength). What is the controlling AISC load combination? b. What is the required nominal moment strength for a resistance factor of 0.90? c. If allowable strength design is used, determine the required moment strength. What is the controlling AISC lead combination? d. What is the required nominal moment strength for a safety factor of 1.67?

Verify the value of Zx for a W1850 that is tabulated in the dimensions and properties tables in Part 1 of the Manual.

The given beam is laterally supported at the ends and at the 1 3 points (points 1, 2, 3, and 4). The concentrated load is a service live load. Use Fy=50 ksi and select a W-shape. Do not check deflections. a. Use LRFD. b. Use 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?

If the beam in Problem 5.5-9 i5 braced at A, B, and C, compute for the unbr Cb aced length AC (same as Cb for unbraced length CB). Do not include the beam weight in the loading. a. Use the unfactored service loads. b. Use factored loads.
