Determine the allowable axial compressive strength of a pinned 8-foot-long beam of various cross-sections made of Alloy 6061-T6 and laterally restrained to prevent buckling about its weak axis in accordance with the 2020 Aluminum Design Manual.
Verify that a beam of different cross-sections made of Alloy 6061-T6 is adequate for the required load, in accordance with the 2020 Aluminum Design Manual.
Using AISC Manual tables, determine the available compressive and flexural strengths and whether the ASTM A992 W14x99 beam has sufficient available strength to support the axial forces and moments shown in Figure 1, obtained from a second-order analysis that includes P-𝛿 effects.
An ASTM A992 W 24×62 beam with end shears of 48.000 and 145.000 kips from the dead and live loads, respectively, is shown in Figure 1. Verify the available shear strength of the selected beam, based on LRFD and ASD.
Consider an ASTM A992 W 18x50 beam forspan and uniform dead and live loads as shown in Figure 1. The member is limited to a maximum nominal depth of 18 inches. 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.
An ASTM A992 14×132 W-shaped column is loaded with the given axial compression forces. The column is pinned top and bottom in both axes. Determine whether the column is adequate to support the loading shown in Figure 1 based on LRFD and ASD.
An ASTM A992 W-shaped member is selected to carry a dead load of 30.000 kips and a live load of 90.000 kips in tension. Verify the member strength using both LRFD and ASD.
Determine the required strengths and effective length factors for the ASTM A992 material columns in the moment frame shown in Figure 1 for the maximum gravity load combination, using LRFD and ASD.
In this verification example, the capacity design values of shear forces on beams are calculated in accordance with EN 1998-1, 5.4.2.2 and 5.5.2.1 as well as the capacity design values of columns in flexure in accordance with 5.2.3.3(2). The system consists of a two span reinforced concrete beam with a span length of 5.50m. The beam is part of a frame system. The results obtained are compared with those in [1].
A structure consists of I-profile simply supported beam. The axial rotation φx is restricted on the both ends but the cross-section is free to warp (fork support). The beam has an initial imperfection in Y-direction defined as a parabolic curve with maximum displacement 30 mm in the middle. Uniform loading is applied in the middle of the top flange of I-profile. The problem is described by the following set of parameters. The verification example is based on the example introduced by Gensichen and Lumpe.
