Question: Now, consider a W 3 1 0 1 1 8 section made of G 4 0 . 2 1 Grade 3 5 0 W steel

Now, consider a W 310118 section made of G 40.21 Grade 350W steel and do the following:
(d) State what the letter and two numbers (including units) in the section designation mean;
(e) Give the nominal yield stress, Fy, and nominal ultimate stress, Fu, that would be used in
a design scenario;
(f) If the member is in pure tension exactly and uniformly at the nominal yield stress, what
is the nominal tensile force in the member;
(g) Assuming the section is made up of three rectangles, each with the widths and
thicknesses (and overall depth) given in the section data tables in the CISC Handbook,
and with x and y referring to the major and minor principal axes of the cross-section
(consistent with the key diagram shown in the Handbook), calculate the area, A,
moments of inertia, Ix and Iy, section moduli, Sx and Sy, radii of gyration, rx and ry, and
plastic moduli, Zx and Zy; and
(h) Make a table of the values calculated in part (g) along with the corresponding values
tabulated in the CISC Handbook and give (at least) one reason why some are different.
