Question: A W 2 1 x 6 8 beam is 3 2 long. The beam is made of A 9 9 2 steel, which has a

A W21 x 68 beam is 32 long. The beam is made of A992 steel, which has a yield strength of 50
ksi. The compression flange is braced at the ends and at intervals of 8. Cb is 1.0, and \phi Mp is
600-kips. Lp is 6.36, and Lr is 18.7. The service loading results in a 256-kips moment due
to uniform loading (live), an 80-kips moment due to point loads (live), and an 8.704-kips
moment due to the beam's self-weight. What is the available moment strength, and is the beam
adequate
A W 2 1 x 6 8 beam is 3 2 long. The beam is made
