A pin-ended chord of a truss is treated as a member in a braced frame. Its length is 12 ft. It must carry a tension dead load of 95 kips and live load of 180 kips along with a uniformly distributed transverse dead load of 1.2 kips/ft and live load of 2.3 kips/ft. Will a W8x67, A992 member be adequate if the transverse load is applied to put the bending about the strong axis? Determine by (a) LRFD and (b) ASD. [8.14- 12-Tension]
