Compute the nominal shear strength of an M10 × 7.5 of A572 Grade 60 steel (Fy = 60 ksi). For M10 × 7.5: d = 9.99 in., tw = 0.13 in., h/tw Vn = x kips = 71.
A flexural member is fabricated from two flange plates 1/2 × 71/2 and a web plate 3/8 × 20. The yield stress of the steel is 50 ksi. a. Compute the plastic section modulus Z and the plastic moment Mp with respect to the major principal axis. (Express your answers to three significant figures.) Z = Mp = in. 3 ft-kips b. Compute the elastic section modulus S and the yield moment My with respect to the major principal axis. (Express your answers to three significant figures.) S = My = in.3 ft-kips
The beam shown in the figure below has lateral support at the ends only. The concentrated loads are live loads. Use A992 steel and select a shape. Do not check deflections. Use C = 1.0 (this is conservative). Suppose that PL = 20 k. PL PL Use the table below.
