Determine if the W14x 22 beam will safely support a loading of w= 1.5 kip/ft. Theallowable bending stress is oallow = 22 ksi and the allowable shear stress is Tallow = 12 ksi.
What is the fixed end moment FEMAB for the beam shown with a settlement of 1.2 in. at support B?   a. -102.7 ft-k     b. -95.2 ft-k     c. -307.7 ft-k     d. 279.8 ft-k
Suggest an optimum footing size and shape (minimum area footing), if the vertical loading (includingthe weight of the footing) is 40 kips, and the soil has the following characteristics: c=200 psf, φ=370,and γ=120.0 lb/ft 3. Constraints of the solution are: the maximum dimension of any side of thefooting is 10 ft, and the depth of embedment is between 2 and 4 ft.
