A block shear failure is a failure in:

a$.$ Compression

b$.$ Yielding

c$.$ Fracture

d$.$ Buckling

$(3$ points$)$ A W$14$x$53$ is used as a column. If the effective length of the column is $26$ feet, according LRFD design method, the maximum axial load the column would be allowed to take is:

$($Hint: The answer is in the Manual. Remember units$)$

If a column in a building is determined to have an effective length factor of $0\mathrm{.}5,$ it can safely be ass that the column is:

a$.$ braced against sidesway

b$.$ unbraced against sidesway

c$.$ either braced or unbraced

d$.$ going $t$

In the ASD method, to determine the available strength of a member, the safety factor, $,$ is appl

a$.$ the ultimate strength

b$.$ the allowable strength

c$.$ the nominal strength

d$.$ the maximum

For tension members, the ASD factor of safety, ${}_t,$ considering fracture applied to the member's tensile strength, $P_n,$ is

a$.1\mathrm{.}67$

b$.0\mathrm{.}75$

c$.2\mathrm{.}00$

d$.$ any of the above, depending on the day of the week

Which of the properties of a beam below has the greatest effect on deflection:

a$.$ yield stress

b$.$ moment of inertia

c$.$ ultimate strength

d$.$ thickness of the

$(3$ points$)$ Using the ASD method, the maximum moment that could possibly be developed in used as a beam is:
