PROBLEM 1

A simply supported A36 W24x104 steel beam is loaded with a uniform superimposed
unfactored dead load of 15kN/m. The span of the beam is 12m with lateral support at
midspan. Use U = 1.2D + 1.6L. Use a conservative value for Cb.
Properties of W24x104
Weight = 141 N/m
A = 19741.9 mm2
bf = 323.85 mm
d = 611.124 mm
tf = 19.05 mm
tw = 12.7 mm
ry = 73.914 mm
k1 = 36.5125 mm
Fy = 248 MPa
Zx = 4736 x 103 mm3
Sx = 4228 x 103 mm3
What is the maximum uniform unfactored live load (in kN/m) that the beam can carry?
PROBLEM 2
A simply supported A992 W21x48 steel beam is loaded with a uniform superimposed
unfactored dead load of 20 kN/m and a concentrated live load "P" at midspan.
Span of the beam is 7 m with lateral support at midspan.
Use Cb = 1.3.
Properties of W21x48
Weight = 65.08 N/m
bf = 207 mm
d = 523 mm
tf = 10.9 mm
tw = 8.89 mm
ry = 42.2 mm
k1 = 20.6 mm
Zx = 1750 x 103 mm3
Sx = 1520 x 103 mm3

What is the maximum point load "P" (in kN) that the beam can carry using ASD?
PROBLEM 3
A flexural member is fabricated from two flange plates ½ X16 and a web plate ¼ x 20 to
form an I-section. The yield stress of the steel is 50ksi
Determine the shape factor
A W14x61 simply supported girder, 7.5 m span, carries an equal concentrated live load
"P" at every quarter points, a uniform superimposed dead load of 5 kN/m and a uniform
live load of 7.2 kN/m. U = 1.2D + 1.6L.
The beam is laterally supported at the ends. Use conservative value for Cb.
Properties of W14x61
Weight = 82.7 N/m
bf = 254 mm
d = 353 mm
tf = 16.4 mm
tw = 9.53 mm
ry = 62.2 mm
k1 = 25.4 mm
Zx = 1670 x 103 mm3
Sx = 1510 x 103 mm3
J = 912 x 103 mm3
