Question: Problem 2 : Consider the floor plan below from HW 3 . In homework 3 , we calculate the demand internal forces in the beams
Problem : Consider the floor plan below from HW In homework we calculate the demand internal
forces in the beams and columns below. In this homework we will design some of the beams and
columns. All beams in this problem are continuously laterally braced.
a Per HW solutions, the maximum moment demand Mu in Beam A is kipft select the
optimal wideflanged steel section for this beam. Hint: calculate the required plastic section
modulus, Z and then select a bolded shape using table
b Calculate the live load deflection of Beam A for the section you choose in part a wlplf and
the length of the beam is feet. The Young's Modulus of steel is ksi. Hint: do not use a
load factor for live load deflection
c Does the live load deflection exceed a L limit
d Per HW solutions, the maximum moment demand in girder B is kip select a
economical W shape for the girder.
e Per HW solutions, column C supported kips for this floor only. Assuming column C only
supports a single floor, check if a Wx section works if the unbraced length is feet and
f Repeart part if
