Consider an ASTM A992 W 18×50 beam forspan and uniform dead and live loads as shown in Figure 1. Maximální jmenovitá výška prutu je 18 palců. The live load deflection is limited to L/360. The beam is simply supported and continuously braced. Verify the available flexural strength of the selected beam, based on LRFD and ASD.
A column is composed of a concrete section (rectangle 100/200) and a steel section (profile I 200). Je vystaven tlakové síle. Determine the critical load and corresponding load factor. The theoretical solution is based on the buckling of a simple beam. In this case, two regions have to be taken into account due to different moments of inertia and material properties.
