The structure shown below is a cantilever beam with a distributed load (10kip/ft) applied to
one side and an axial load (1000kip) applied on top, as shown in the figure. The structure is
analyzed, and the Moment and Axial diagrams are shown below (results for LRFD).(5 points)
W14x99 shape
Grade-50 steel (Fy=50ksi,Fu=65ksi
Length of the beam =10ft
a) Check the adequacy of the structure for moment and axial (LRFD). Does the structure
resist to the applied load?
b) If the load 1000kip applied at the top of the structure is applied in the opposite direction
(tension instead of compression). Does the structure still resist to the applied load for this
case? What would be the combined stress for this case?
The structure shown below is a cantilever beam
