7.6. A W2494 beam on a 6-ft span (see acompanying figure) underpins a column
that brings 110 kips dead load and 280 kips live load to its top flange at a location 2.5 ft
from the left support. The column bearing plate is 12 in. measured along the beam, and
the bearing plates at the end supports are each 8 in. Investigate this beam of A992 steel for
(a) flexure, (b) shear, and (c) satisfactory transmission of the reactions and concentrated
load (i.e., local web yielding, web crippling, and sidesway web buckling). Specify changes
(if any) required to satisfy the AISC Specification.
Use LRFD Design Method
(a) Obtain factored loads:
Wu = 1.2(110) + 1.6(280) = 580 kips

Wu ab 580(2.5)(3.5)
Mu = = = 846 ft-kips
L 6
Wu b 580(3.5)
Vu = = = 338 kips
L 6
(b) Check flexural strength assuming adequate lateral support (AISC F2.1):

30 to the horizontal. The span is 21 ft, the load is uniform 0.18 kip/ft dead load plus
the purlin weight and 0.34 kip/ft snow load. Lateral stability is assured by attachment of
the roofing to the compression flange. Assume the load acts through the beam centroid,
there are no sag rods, and biaxial bending must be assumed. Any torsional effect can be
resisted by the roofing and therefore it can be neglected.

The beam has lateral support every 7 feet. The loading is uniform and symmetric,
so the worst loading will occur on a segment containing the midpoint of the beam.
Use the segment from 14 ft to 21 ft with Lb = 7 ft. For doubly symmetric members,

For the limit state of lateral torsional buckling, AISC-F3.1 uses AISC-F2.2:

inducing heavy machinery, is subject to the loads shown in the accompanying figure. Select
the lightest W section of A992 steel. Compare the result when there is no deflection limit
with that when L/d is limited to a minimum of 20 under full load, a traditional limit to
minimize perceptible vibration due to pedestrian traffic.

12.3. Determine the maximum service load W (kips) at the mid-height of the beam-
column shown in the accompanying figure. Assume the member is hinged with respect to
bending in both x and y directions at the top and bottom. Additionally, lateral support
occurs in the weak direction at mid-height.

12.4. Investigate the adequacy of the given section of the accompanying figure. No joint
translation can occur and external lateral support is provided at the ends only.
