I was having trouble finding the "minimum required cross-sectional properties of Beam AB to satisfy both the ultimate (i.e. strength) and serviceability (i.e. deflection limit states for the beam" which then made it hard to complete the second part of part B. Can you please show both the moment-area theorems and the virtual work principle for part B. THANKS
Question 3(33 marks)
A steel framing plan that supports a reinforced concrete floor is shown in Figure 2. The reinforced
concrete floor is 200mm thick; the self weight of the steel beams is equivalent to a uniformly
distributed surface load of 0.3kNm2; the superimposed dead load on the floor is 0.5kNm2, and
the specified live load on the floor is 2.4kNm2. Assume the unit weight of reinforced concrete to
be 24kNm3.
Figure 2
[15 marks] a) Develop the shear force and bending moment diagrams for Beam AB under the total
factored dead and live loads based on a dead load factor of 1.25 and a live load factor of 1.5.
[18 marks] b) Determine the minimum required cross-sectional properties of Beam AB to satisfy
both the ultimate (i.e. strength) and serviceability (i.e. deflection) limit states for the beam. The
deflection control criterion requires that the maximum deflection of Beam AB under the specified
live load not exceed 40mm. Assume y=350MPa,y=350MPa,E=2.0105MPa, resistance
factor =0.9, and cross-sectional properties to be constant throughout the beam.
Note: Either the moment-area theorems or virtual work principle may be used to compute the
maximum deflection of Beam AB. In either case, the appropriate bending moment diagram(s)
MUST be drawn.
