5.1 definition of beam column
For many structural members bending and axial effect are acts at the same times.
For example if the beam is statistically indeterminate axial forces developed in
the beam. Also the column in frame is subjected to both axial and bending effects.

Beam-columns are structural members which combine the beam function of

transmitting transverse forces or moments (uniaxial bending or biaxial bending)
with the compression (or tension) member function of transmitting axial forces.

5.3 METHODS OF ANALYSIS FOR REQUIRED STRENGTH

The foregoing approach to the analysis of members, subjected to both bending

and axial load, is satisfactory so long as the axial load is not too large. The
presence of the axial load produces secondary moments, and unless the axial
load is relatively small, these additional moments must be accounted for. As
shown in Figure below.

In addition to the secondary moments caused by member deformation (P-d

moments, shown in Figure above), additional secondary moments are present
when one end of the member translates with respect to the other. These moments
are called P-Δ moments and are illustrated in Figure below. In a braced frame,
the member ends do not undergo translation, so only the P-d moments are present.
In an unbraced frame, the additional moment, PΔ, increases the end moment. The
distribution of moments in the member is therefore a combination of the primary
moment, the P-d moment, and the P-Δ moment. An unbraced rigid frame depends

==========================================================================================
===
on the transfer of moments at its joints for stability. For this reason, unbraced
frames are frequently referred to as moment frames. Multistory buildings can
consist of a combination of braced frames and moment frames.

Ordinary structural analysis methods that do not take the displaced geometry into
account are called first-order methods. Iterative analyses that account for these
effects are referred to as second-order methods.

5.4 THE MOMENT AMPLIFICATION METHOD

The moment amplification method entails computing the maximum bending

moment resulting from flexural loading (transverse loads or member end
moments) by a first-order analysis, then multiplying by a moment amplification
factor to account for the secondary moment.

==========================================================================================
===
The amplified moment to be used in design is computed from the loads and
moments as follows (x and y subscripts are not used here; amplified moments
must be computed in the following manner for each axis about which there are
moments)

In addition to the required moment strength, the required axial strength must
account for second-order effects. The required axial strength is affected by the
displaced geometry of the structure during loading. This is not an issue with
member displacement (δ), but it is with joint displacement (Δ). The required axial
compressive strength is given by

5.5 amplification moment at braced frame

Figure below shows a member subjected to equal end moments producing single-
curvature bending (bending that produces tension or compression on one side
throughout the length of the member). Maximum moment amplification occurs
at the center, where the deflection is largest. For equal end moments, the moment
is constant throughout the length of the member, so the maximum primary
moment also occurs at the center. Thus the maximum secondary moment and
maximum primary moment are additive. Even if the end moments are not equal,
as long as one is clockwise and the other is counterclockwise there will be single
curvature bending, and the maximum primary and secondary moments will occur
near each other.

Chapter Five---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Beam-Column
==========================================================================================
===
That is not the case if applied end moments produce reverse-curvature bending
as shown in Figure below. Here the maximum primary moment is at one of the
ends, and maximum moment amplification occurs between the ends. Depending
on the value of the axial load P, the amplified moment can be either larger or
smaller than the end moment.

The maximum moment in a beam–column therefore depends on the distribution

of bending moment within the member.

Here, always this reduction factor is taken as 1.0.

In the effective length and first-order methods, the flexural rigidity is unreduced,
and EI* = EI. The moment of inertia I and the effective length factor K1 are for
the axis of bending, and K1 = 1.0 unless a more accurate value is computed (AISC
C3). Note that the subscript 1 corresponds to the braced condition and the
subscript 2 corresponds to the unbraced condition.

5.6 Evaluation of Cm

The factor Cm applies only to the braced condition. There are two categories of
members: those with transverse loads applied between the ends and those with no
transverse loads.

1. If there are no transverse loads acting on the member,

M1/M2 is a ratio of the bending moments at the ends of the member. M1 is the
end moment that is smaller in absolute value, M2 is the larger, and the ratio is
positive for members bent in reverse curvature and negative for single-curvature
bending. Reverse curvature (a positive ratio) occurs when M1 and M2 are both
clockwise or both counterclockwise.

2. For transversely loaded members, Cm can be taken as 1.0. A more refined

procedure for transversely loaded members is provided in the Commentary
to Appendix 8 of the Specification. The factor Cm is given as

LRFD SOLUTION
All the load combinations given in ASCE 7 involve dead load, and except for the
first one, all combinations also involve either live load or wind load or both. The
load combinations for this question can be summarized as;

𝐶𝑜𝑚𝑏𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 1: 1.4𝐷

𝐶𝑜𝑚𝑏𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 2: 1.2𝐷 + 1.6𝐿

𝐶𝑜𝑚𝑏𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 3: 1.2𝐷 + (0.5𝐿 𝑜𝑟 0.5𝑊)

𝐶𝑜𝑚𝑏𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 4: 1.2𝐷 + 1.0𝑊 + 0.5𝐿

𝐶𝑜𝑚𝑏𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 5: 1.2𝐷 + 0.5𝐿

𝐶𝑜𝑚𝑏𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 6: 0.9𝐷 ± 1.0𝑊

The dead load is less than eight times the live load, so combination (1) can be
ruled out. Load combination (4) will be more critical than (3), so combination
(3) can be eliminated. Combination (5) can be eliminated because it will be less
critical than (2). Finally, combination (6) should be investigated for an
overturning effect. The combinations to be investigated are therefore

𝐶𝑜𝑚𝑏𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 2: 1.2𝐷 + 1.6𝐿

𝐶𝑜𝑚𝑏𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 4: 1.2𝐷 + 1.0𝑊 + 0.5𝐿

𝐶𝑜𝑚𝑏𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 6: 0.9𝐷 ± 1.0𝑊

Combination (6) will be investigated first. We will consider compression to be

positive. For a wind direction that produces uplift,

0.9𝐷 – 1.0𝑊 = 0.9(85) – 1.0(56) = 20.5 𝑘𝑖𝑝𝑠

The positive result means that the net load is compressive, and we need not
consider this load combination further. Figure 6.18 shows the axial loads and
bending moments calculated for combinations (2) and (4).

5.8 DESIGN OF BEAM–COLUMNS

Because of the many variables in the interaction formulas, the design of beam–
columns is essentially a trial-and-error process. A procedure developed by
Aminmansour (2000) simplifies this process, especially the evaluation of trial
shapes.

Part 6 of the Manual, “Design of Members Subject to Combined Loading,”

contains tables based on design aids developed by Aminmansour. The procedure
can be explained as follows. If we initially assume that AISC Equation H1-1a
governs, then

Select a W shape of A992 steel for the beam–column of Figure below. This
member is part of a braced frame and is subjected to the service-load axial force
and bending moments shown (the end shears are not shown). Bending is about
the strong axis, and Kx = Ky = 1.0. Lateral support is provided only at the ends.
Assume that B1 = 1.0.

Solution
LRFD method.

𝑃𝑛𝑡 = 𝑃𝑢 = 1.6 𝑃𝐿 + 1.2𝑃𝐷 = 1.6(147) + 1.2(54) = 300 𝑘

(There is no amplification of axial loads in members braced against sidesway.)

The factored moment at each end is

𝑀𝑛𝑡𝑥 = 1.6 𝑀𝐿 + 1.2𝑀𝐷 = 1.6(49) + 1.2(18) = 100 𝑘 − 𝑓𝑡

Since B1 = 1.0, the factored load bending moment is

Example 6:-

A structural member in a braced frame must support the following service loads
and moments: an axial compressive dead load of 25 kips and a live load of 75
kips; a dead load moment of 12.5 ft-kips about the strong axis and a live load
moment of 37.5 ft-kips about the strong axis; a dead load moment of 5 ft-kips
about the weak axis and a live load moment of 15 ft-kips about the weak axis.
The moments occur at one end; the other end is pinned. The member length is 15
feet. The frame analysis was a first-order analysis with reduced member
stiffnesses, so the moment amplification method with Kx = 1.0 can be used. In
the direction perpendicular to the frame, Ky = 1.0. There are no transverse loads
on the member. Use A992 steel and select a W10 shape.
