Problem 3:
Consider the simply supported beam and its loading in the figure below. The loads shown
are SERVICE loads.
The beam is continuously braced by roof deck on the top flange. A992 steel is used. The
live load only exists in the concentrated loads and does not exceed 100 psf for the system.
Ws is the snow load.
Provide the following:
Determine reactions and draw the shear and moment diagrams. Locate and label
the points of maximum shear and moment for the worst-case load combination.
(Note: you may need to consider a few different load combinations, thus requiring
a few V&M diagrams to find the worst case...)(Hint: see the load combinations
below)
1.4D
or S or {:R)
or S or or 0.5W
Determine if a W10x39 is adequate for the loading. Clearly compare the beam's
design flexural capacity (yielding capacity) and the demand from part (a).
