critical slenderness ratio if there is an additional lateral support in the weak direction at mid-height.

If the beam in Problem 5.5-9 i5 braced at A, B, and C, compute for the unbr Cb aced length AC (same as Cb for unbraced length CB). Do not include the beam weight in the loading. a. Use the unfactored service loads. b. Use factored loads.

Determine the smallest value of yield stress Fy, for which a W-, M-, or S-shape from Part 1 of the Manual will become slender. To which shapes does this value apply? What conclusion can you draw from your answer?

Compute the nominal shear strength of an M1211.8 of A572 Grade 65 steel.

Compute the nominal shear strength of an M107.5 of A572 Grad 65 steel.

The member shown in Figure P6.6-4 is part of a braced frame. The load and moments are computed from service loads, and bending is about the x axis (the end shears are not shown). The frame analysis was performed consistent with the effective length method, so the flexural rigidity. EI, was unreduced. Use Kx=0.9. The load and moments are 30 dead load and 70 live load. Determine whether this member satisfies the appropriate AISC interaction equation. a. Use LRFD. b. Use ASD.

A beam must be designed to the following specifications: Span length = 35 ft Beam spacing = 10 ft 2-in. deck with 3 in. of lightweight concrete fill (wc=115 pcf) for a total depth of t=5 in. Total weight of deck and slab = 51 psf Construction load = 20 psf Partition load = 20 psf Miscellaneous dead load = 10 psf Live load = 80 psf Fy=50 ksi, fc=4 ksi Assume continuous lateral support and use LRFD. a. Design a noncomposite beam. Compute the total deflection (there is no limit to be checked). b. Design a composite beam and specify the size and number of stud anchors required. Assume one stud at each beam location. Compute the maximum total deflection as follows: 1. Use the transformed section. 2. Use the lower-bound moment of inertia.
