Chapter 2, Problem 2.3P

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 ϕ 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 Ω of 1.67?

A two-dimensional beam structure or frame (ABCD, shown below) has a concentrated load, P, acting on Point D. You can assume that the connections at B and C have sufficient strength to react the applied load and that loads and moments are transferred between the beams. You can assume that the members have a constant cross-section and that El-constant. B A 2m y L. C P-3kN D 2m In order to evaluate the design you must: (a) Sketch the deformed shape of the frame, solve the reaction forces and construct the bending moment diagram for the frame. (b) Use any method to determine the vertical deflection at Point D. Ensure that you clearly explain your approach and show your final answer. Clearly state any assumptions made. (c) If the bending rigidity, El, of the frame between Point B and Point C was doubled. What effect would this have on the resulting horizontal deflection at point D. Ensure that your answer is supported by suitable reasoning, calculations and/or sketches.

Its weight per unit length is 2500N/m, and the beam rests on two pillars at A and B, with no fixed connection. A. Assuming the beam is uniform, which of the following gives the absolute maximum shear? B. What is the value of the absolute maximum moment? C. Reinforcing steel bars [shown by the bold lines] are used in the concrete beam in the lookout as shown in the diagram below, which of the following diagrams best shows the placements of these reinforcements?
A wooden beam is fabricated from three boards, which are fastened together with screws, as shown. The screws are uniformly spaced along the span of the beam at intervals of 250 mm. In service, the beam will be positioned so that bending occurs about the z axis. The maximum bending moment in the beam is Mz- -4.88 kN-m, and the maximum shear force in the beam is Vy=-3.4 kN.
