an A572 Grade 50 W30x108 steel beam. The
simply supported beam is subjected to a uniform
service load and a concentrated load located 10ft
from left end as shown. The beam is 30ft long and
has lateral support at a, b & c.
PROBLEM 5.6:
Determine the flexural strength (ASD & LRFD) of
an A572 Grade 50 W12x65 steel beam loaded on
its minor axis. The beam is simply supported on a
span of 15ft and braced only at the ends.
PROBLEM 5.7:
Select the lightest W section of A992 steel to carry
a uniformly distributed load and concentrated load
as shown. The beam is simply supported on a span
of 28ft with lateral support at its ends and midspan.
The bending is about the x-axis. Use Load and
Resistance Factor Design.
PROBLEM 5.8:
Select the lightest W section of A992 steel to carry
a uniformly distributed load and concentrated load
