Question: For a FIVE STORY structure with 4 x 4 3 0 x 3 0 bays ( beams spaced 1 0 o . c . )

For a FIVE STORY structure with 4x430x30 bays (beams spaced 10 o.c.), use our tables to size ALL the
beams and girders (interior and exterior), and ALL UNIQUE COLUMNS, using our 226 material. The first
story height is 24, the second is 18, and the other three are 12.
Assume that the roof and floor loads are 125 psf live and 75 psf dead.
For the beams and girders, find WTOT and MMAX, and size them for bending, shear and deflection,
indicating the final size, and which failure mode dictates the member choice.
For the columns, size the relevant interior, edge and corner columns, computing the loads from each
story. Size each for buckling and crush, and indicate the required size and failure mode for each column.
Keep the calculations ORGANIZED and NEAT make them easy to read, as you will for your project calcs,
(right??).
At the end of your calculations, list the set of unique members and their sizes, (as you will for at the end
of your project calcs!)
