Determine the lightest section W14 available to carry a service
dead load of 150 kips and a service live load of 250 kips. The
effective length of the column about both axes is 15 ft. Use A992
steel. (10 points)
Select the lightest W14 section to carry an axial compression of
P = 100 kips dead load, and 140 kips live load; along with a strong
axis bending moment of 125 kip-ft dead load and 325 kip-ft live
load. Assume the moment acts along the entire 15 foot length of the
member, and the ends are pin-pin connections.
1) Select the lightest section to support a axial load (DL=700
kips y LL= 300 kips). The
element is braced, so LX= 22 ft and LY= 12 ft. The end support
conditions are:
a) (Fixed/pinned) and it is specified to use A572 gr. 60. (verify
slenderness and
local buckling)
b) (Fixed/Fixed) and you must use A-36
For bending only, determine the lightest-weight W-shape
to carry a uniform dead load of 4.5 kip/ft plus the
beam self-weight and a live load of 3.5 kip/ft on a simple
span of 24 ft. Consider only the limit state of yielding and
use A992 steel. Design by (a) LRFD
steel structure
Q1. The column carries 60 kips dead load and 40 kips live
load, its length is 20 ft, and the steel is A992. Assume the member
as pinned at the top and bottom.
(a) Compute Pa;
(b) Determine the effective length (KL);
(c) Use ASD method to select the lightest W section;
(d) Check the local buckling slenderness limits of the
selected section.
A 40 ft simple span beam is loaded with a uniform dead load of
2.4 kips/ft plus the beam self-weight and a uniform live load of
3.3 kips/ft. The lateral supports are located at the supports and
at the midpoint of the span. Determine the leastweight W-shape to
carry the load. Use A992 steel and Cb= 1.0. Design by (a) LRFD and
(b) ASD. [6.16-36]
A 16-ft long pin-pin column has to support a dead load of 100
kips and a live load of 280 kips. Using column selection tables
from the Steel Manual select columns for the given shapes. All
selections should be structurally safe and least weight.
50-ksi W-section (W10, 12, 14 only)
35-ksi pipe (standard, x-strong, xx-strong)
46-ksi rectangular HSS
46-ksi square HSS
42-ksi round HSS

Select a lightest American Standard Channel that will
safely support a tensile dead load of R/2.5 kN and a tensile live
load of R/2.0 kN. The member is 5m long and is i to have one hole
for an 18 mm bolt through each flange. Use U=0.85, A36 the AISC
Specification.
take R=1618
