Consider an ASTM A992 W 18×50 beam forspan and uniform dead and live loads as shown in Figure 1. Стержень ограничен максимальной номинальной высотой 18 дюймов (45,72 см). 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 cantilever beam with an I-beam cross-section of length L is defined. The beam has five mass points with masses m acting in the X-direction. Собственный вес не учитывается. The frequencies, mode shapes, and equivalent loads of this 5-DOF system are analytically calculated and compared with the results from RSTAB and RFEM.
