Problem 3 (30 pts): Determine if the column between the first and second floors (AB) is...
Problem 2. Design and select an ASTM A992 (Fy" 50 ksi) W-shape column to carry an axial dead load of 140 kips and live lond of 420 kips. The column is 30 feet long, and is pinned top and bottom in both axes. In addition, the column is laterally braced about the y-y axis (local weak/minor axis of the section) and torsionally braced at the midpoint. Limit the column size to a nominal 14 in. shape, that is W14 shape...
Problem l The beam shown below is laterally braced at D,F and F. The uniform load shown does not include the weight of the beam. Determine whether a W24x 104 ASTM A992 is adequate for bending and shear. P,-12k PL -36k 3k/ft 10 20 30 FIGURE P5.5-15 a) Determine the controlling load combination and calculate Pu (for the concentrated force) and wu (for wo plus beam's selfweight, which is a uniformly distributed load) b) Analyze the beam loaded with the...
