Question No$.1$:

The beam with a cantilever below carries specified loads as shown on the beam. The beam has an opening that is placed $2m$ from the support. Considering ONLY the loading case that will maximize the factored applied POSITIVE moment at the opening, check the adequacy of W$46068$ beam for the shown UNREINFORCED opening using:

$($i$)$ Available design equations, and then

$($ii$)$ Using CISC design tables for required constants to perform the design calculations.

Assume that the beam is laterally$-$supported at the top flange throughout the beam length. Use CISC Design Tables on pages $5-14$ through $5-24$ to determine $M_r$ and $V_r.$

Question No$.2$:

Repeat the check$-$in Question $1$ if reinforcement is added to the opening $)=(0\mathrm{.}33A_f$ using ONLY the CISC design tables for required constants to perform the design calculations.

Instruction:

Use structural analysis diagrams in the Steel Handbook to get reaction values at supports to assist in drawing the SFD and BMD for each loading case. DO NOT USE SAP$2000$ SOFTWARE IN THIS ASSIGNMENT.
