Beam Design Charts

There are many design charts, tables and graphs available
in the manual.
The curves of moment strength versus unbraced length
given in Part 3 of the manual.

Holes in Beams
If beam connections are made with bolts, holes will be punched or
drilled in the beam web or flanges.
In addition, relatively large holes are sometimes cut in beam webs
to provide space for utilities such as electrical conduits and
ventilation ducts.
Ideally, holes should be placed in the web only at sections of low
shear, and holes should be made in flanges at points of low bending
moment.
For relatively small holes such as those for bolts, the effect will be
small, particularly for flexure.
Holes in beam flange are of concern for the tension flange only,
since bolts in the compression flange will transmit the load through
the bolts.

Holes in Beams
Bolt holes in beam flanges are to be accounted for when
the nominal tensile rupture strength (fracture strength) of
the flange is less than the nominal tensile yield strength.

If Fy /Fu > 0.8, the nominal tensile yield strength is to be

increased by 10%.

Holes in Beams
The nominal flexural strength is to be limited by the
condition of flexural rupture. This limit state
corresponds to a flexural stress of

Where
can be considered to be a net elastic
section modulus. The nominal flexural strength is
