Is the beam shown below adequate for moment stresses? Use LRFD. Take the elastic section modulus as 123.0 in3, Steel yield stress as 59.72 ksi, and use wuL2/8 to calculate the required moment strength.
A  5.5m simple beam carries a uniform ultimate load Wu. The beam is laterally supported and has compact section. The properties of the section are: rx=105.16mm, ry=22.2mm, Sx=308000mm^3, Sy=35000mm^3, Zx=357000mm^3, Zy=55000mm^3, and Fy=248MPa. Calculate the ultimate load capacity Wu of the beam in KN/m considering flexure. Express your answer in 3 decimal places.
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?
