Solution: a.)

Check if the section is compact or not?


Compact flanges : p g ;

Solution:

Seatwork 1:
A floor system is supported by W18x158 A36 steel beams 10m long and spaced 3.50m on centers. The beams are simply supported at their ends and are laterally supported over their entire span. Allowable stress for bending and shear are 0.66Fy and 0.40Fy, respectively. Deflection of each beam should not exceed 1/360 of the span. overall depth= 500.9 mm web thickness= 20.6 mm section modulus= 5085.5x103 mm3 beam weight=235.0 kg/m 1.
