A W8x31, A36 steel is used as a simply supported beam uniformly loaded over a span of 6.4 m.  If the top flange is continuously braced against lateral displacement by the floor, calculate the ultimate uniform load the beam can sustain against bending about the major axis.  Write your answer in kN-m with 2 decimal places only. Use Zx = 498 x 103 mm3
Situation 17. A w12x79 of A573 Grade 60 (Fy-415MPa) steel is used as a compression member. It is 8m long pinned at the top fixed at bottom with additional lateral support at mid height in the weak direction. The properties are as follows Ag=14,500 sq.mm = 258.6x10^6 mm^4 Iy=84.375x10^6 mm^4   Calculate the critical slenderness ratio with buckling about strong axis.   calculate the critical slenderness ration with buckling about weak axis. calculate the flexural buckling stress Fcr in MPA
The beam shown in Figure P8.37 will be constructed from a standard steel W-shape using an allowable bending stress of 24 ksi. Assume PB=7.5 kips, PC=13.0 kips, PD=8.0 kips and a=5 ft.(a) Develop a list of five acceptable shapes that could be used for this beam. On this list, include the most economical W10, W12, W14, W16, and W18 shapes.(b) Select the most economical W shape for this beam.Calculate Ay and Ey, the vertical reaction forces at supports A and E, respectively.Answers: Ay =       kips Ey =       kips   Determine the maximum bending moment magnitude for the beam. One method to obtain this value is to construct shear-force and bending-moment diagrams on a piece of paper. Determine the maximum bending moment magnitude from your bending-moment diagram.Answer: Mmax =       kip-ft   Calculate the minimum required section modulus if the allowable bending stress is 24 ksi.Answer: Smin =      in.3   Below, fill in the missing portions of the beam shape…
