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.

Collect information on the American Wire Gage (AWG) standards. Create a table for annealed copper wires showing the gage number, diameter in mils, cross-sectional area, and resistance per 1000 ft.

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.
