The beam-column in the figure below is a member of a braced frame. A second-order analysis was performed with factored loads and reduced member stiffnesses to obtain the moments and axial force shown. Use LRFDand determine whether this member is adequate. Suppose that P = 165 kFor W10 x 60 with L, = 15 ft and C6 = 1.0: ф,M, = 257 ft-kips, ф,M, = 280 ft-kips;for Lc = 15 ft: cPr = 556 kips.
The beam in the figure carries a uniform load of 20 kN/m including its own weight, a concentrated load of 400 kN at 2.4 m from the left support and another concentrated load at 280 kNat 1.2 m from right end. The beam is laterally unsupported except at the two vertical ends. The beam is to be made of W 16 x 77. Use AISC Specifications for A36 steel Fy= 248.69 MPa. a. Determine the maximum bending moment of the beam. b. Determine the maximum or actual flexural stress of the beam. c. Determine the allowable flexural stress of the beam. d. Is it safe to use the said steel as beam? Why?
A W12x79 of A573 Grade 60 (Fy = 415 MPa) steel is used as a compression member.  It is 6.6 m long, fixed at the top and bottom, and has additional support in the weak direction at mid-height.  Properties of the section are as follows:          A = 14,500 mm^2         Ix = 258.6 x 10^6 mm^4         Iy = 84.375 x 10^6 mm^4 Calculate the effective slenderness ratio with respect to strong axis buckling using theoretical value of k.
