A simply supported beam is subjected to a uniform service dead load of 1.5 kips/ft (including the weight of the beam), a uniform service live load of 2.2 kips/ft, and a concentrated service dead load of 50 kips. The beam is 45 ft long, and the concentrated load is located 15 ft from the left end. The beam has continuous lateral support, and A572 Grade 50 steel is used. Is W30x124 adequate?

A W 5300*101 of Steel Section (fy= 345 MPa & fu= 450 MPa) is used as simply supported beamwith a span of 15 The dead load is the summation of the super dead load (X1=9 kN/m as uniform load) and the beam weight. In addition to the dead load, a uniform live load is applied to the beam. If the lateral support is provided at 3-meter intervals, what is the maximum service live load in kN/m that can be supported.
The beam shown in Figure is a W16 x 31 of A992 steel. It supports a reinforced concrete floor slab that provides continuous lateral support of the compression flange. The service dead load is 450 /byft. This load is superimposed on the beam; it does not include the weight of the beam itself. The service live load is 550 lby/ft. Does this beam have adequate moment strength?

A 36-ft simple beam that supports a service uniform dead load of 1.0 k/ft and a service concentrated live load of 25 k at midspan is laterally unbraced except at its ends and at the concentrated load at midspan. If the maximum permissible centerline deflection under service loads equal L/360 total load and L/1000 live load, select the most economical W section of 50 ksi steel, considering moment, shear and deflection. The beam self-weight is included in the uniform dead load. Use Cb = 1.0.

1. A cantilever R.C. beam is 280 mm x 500 mm deep and is reinforced with 4- 20 mm diam bars for tension. Using an effective depth of d = 450 mm, determine if the 2.50 m long beam is adequate to carry a uniform load of 15 KN/m and a concentrated load of 10 KN at the cantilever end. Use f’c = 21 MPa, fy = 275 MPa. Neglect the weight of beam. Use n = 9 (Alternate Method of Design) Question: Referring to #1, using the same data, determine if the cantilever beam is adequate based on strength design 2001 NSCP specifications. The 15 KN/m load is DL while the 10KN load is LL.
The beam is subjected to a service dead load of 2.5k/ft for the entire length and a service live load of 20 kips at 4 ft from left end. The self weight of the beam b = 12in h=24 in has to be added to the dead load for the calculations. According to the figure how much is the maximum shear for the design load diagram Vmax? How much is the max bending moment for the design load diagram Mmax?

M1AQ95. For a loaded propped beam in the figure below, design a singly reinforced beam (using the USD method and NSCP 2015) for the positive moment. Give the complete details of the design. The total depth of the beam must not exceed 600 mm to ensure acceptable floor-to-floor vertical clearance. f'c = 27.2 MPa and fy = 415.4 MPa. It carries a super- imposed dead load of 102 kN/m and a live load of 39.8 kN/m all applied over the entire length of the beam. Other load and beam properties are the following: L1 = 6.3 m, L2 = 2.5 m, I2 = 0.85 of I1. Use a minimum concrete cover of 60 mm. Optimize the design such that the minimum percent difference of the moment strength with the actual moment is 1% but to avoid overdesign it's max percent difference is 5%.
