Problem Assignment
Due Monday November 9, 2015
1. Use the composite beam design criteria to evaluate Beam A and Girder B on the first
floor from the attached flcor plan of the Class Structure. The minimum 28 day concrete
strength, fis 4000 psi, and the shear studs have a minimum tensile strength, F,, of 60 ksi, Use
the design tables to start the process, but complete actual equation checks for moment capacity.
2. Evaluate the combined load capacity for the third floor column of the example
structure used in class. ‘This column is a W14x159 section and it is the member identified as
“Class 2" in the sketch. The member is to be analyzed only for ASCE 7 LRFD Load
Combinations 2 and 5, sine they appear to be the most citcal for this member. Use the
Approximate Second Order analysis method provided in Appendix 8 of the LRED Specification.
This method requires comp etion of two linear elastic frame analysis. This analysis raises the
potential for numerous errors, and so please use the moment diagrams provide below. These
are the same frame analyses used in the class example, and so you can get additional
information from the slides ofthe class presentation.
