Question: 1 1 - 2 0 Design problem in an unbraced frame - using loads and moments obtained using the requirements of the Direct Analysis Method.

11-20 Design problem in an unbraced frame-using loads and moments obtained using the requirements of the Direct Analysis Method. Using the LRFD method, select the lightest W12,10ft long beam-column in an unbraced frame. Based on a first-order analysis, the member supports the following factored loads: Pnt load of 140k and Ptt load of 105k. The member also supports factored moments: Mntx moment of 60ft-k,Ml moment of90ft-k,Mnty moment of 40ft-k and Mlty moment of 75ft-k.Pstory=5,000k,Pestoryx=40,000k,
Pestoryy=30,000k,Cmx=Cmy=1.0,Cb=1.0 and Fy=50ksi steel
