How do we choose the shape of PC sections for a given beam?

Expert Solution

The major criterions regarding shapes of different beam sections are area, moment of inertia etc. Also different shapes usually used for reinforced concrete sections are mentioned.

Consider all of the psychological conditions from the sections we have read, and then choose one that interests you the most. Describe the psychological condition (use outside resources for a more in-depth description - remember to include your reference) and then, from the section "Therapeutic Orientations," "Psychopharmacology," or another source, choose a therapy that you think might be effective with the disorder or condition you chose. Explain your reason for "using" that therapy. (Be sure to include references for full...

It is desired to use a 12-in.W-shape for a column to support a beam. Select a trial size for the column for the following data: column factored axial load from above is 485 kips, factored beam reaction is 100 kips, and unbraced column height is 18ft. * Check the section found to see if it complies with the AISC interaction equations for axial compression plus bending.* (Interaction Formula Check)
