Question: Problem 1 A built - up beam section is formed by welding 2 L 8 6 1 angles to the bottom flange of W 3

Problem 1
A built-up beam section is formed by welding 2L861 angles to the bottom flange of
W36x210 as shown in Fig. 1.
Determine the following section properties of the built-up cross section:
Cross sectional area, A(in2)
The location of the centroids CG-X and CG-Y id of the built up section from the
bottom of angle (this value is given, so you need to check that you get this value)
Moments of inertia ICG.X (in ?4) and ICG-Y (in ?4)
Section modulus Sx(bot)(in3) and Sx(top)(in3)
Radius of gyration rx(in) and ry(in)
Weight of the built up section, w(1bft)(use density of steel =490pcf)
Surface area of the built-up section, S(ft2ft)
W 36210
d=36.7 in ,A=61.9in2
