A W24× 103 steel girder is fixed at rigid end connections and spans 21′-8′′. It supports load-carrying secondary beams that extend perpendicular from the girder on one side only. The beams induce a torque equivalent to 6000 in-lb at the center of the girder. The beam has a torsional constant (J) of 7.11 in4. Structural steel has a shear modulus (G) of 11 200 000 lb/in2. Determine the torsional strain that develops in the girder.
