Question $1$: Control a standard hot rolled shape W $2484$ of $A992$ steel for the simply sapported beam must support a uniform service live load of $4\mathrm{.}5$kip$\frac{s}{t}.$ The permissible live load iseflection is $\frac{L}{240}.$ Spun is $30ft.$ Fy$-50.$

Question$2$: Determine the design strength of a splice between two W$-$shapes.

Given: Twe W$14$x$43$ A$992$ wide flanges are spliced by flange plates as shown below, with $\frac{7}{8}$ in$.$ diameter bolts arranged as shown. The LRFD available strength of a group of six bolts is $211$ kips. The plates will be seiected so that they do not limit the member strength L$-6$in $Ag=12\mathrm{.}6i{n}^{2}x=1\mathrm{.}31$ and $t=0\mathrm{.}53in$
