Please use actual numbers when you are solving this for each section!!
Given a 45 ft long girder beam, (Fy=50 Steel), with both ends, A & B fixed (Fixed-Fixed condition) having a linearly distributed Factored load
Wu=3.587 k/ft. See Hint blow.
a) Select a W18x?? section to support the load
b) Check the beams adequacy to be a Compact Section.
c) Recommend the compression flange bracing distances so that the beam has the full lateral support. Draw a Figure of the beam and show the placement of braces with an x.
d) Use equation (Vu =0.6 Fy Aw Cv1) in the textbook to check the adequacy of the web to carry the maximum shear in the beam.
HINT: Use Appendix A3, P.450 to determine the maximum moment in the beam under the distributed load.
