Question: Problem 2 . Consider a three - bay, two - story structure shown below exposed to dead, live and wind loads. The first order moments

Problem 2. Consider a three-bay, two-story structure shown below exposed to dead, live and wind loads. The first order moments caused by each load are given in the figure. The bending occurs in strong axis, and the columns are fully braced laterally. The columns are made of W10x39(lx=209in4,rx=4.27 inch, ry=1.98 inch, (:Ag=11.5in2} and all the beams are made of )=(1330in4. Check if member ab is sufficient. The member length L is 18 feet.
(a) Calculate the compression capacity, Pn of beam-column a-b;
(b) Calculate the bending capacity, Mn of beam-column a-b.
(c) Calculate the amplification factor B1;
(d) Determine if the section of member a-b is sufficient to carry the given loads.
