Check Capacity of WF Beam at Opening Based on AISC 360-05

INPUT DATA & DESIGN SUMMARY

WF SECTION => W24X76 OPENING DIMENSIONS b = 48 in
MOMENT @ ABCD SECTION MABCD = 90 ft-k h = 10 in
MOMENT @ EFGH SECTION MEFGH = 75 ft-k OPENING LOCATION e = 8 in
MAX SHEAR @ OPENING V = 60 kips PLATE SIZE @ EACH SIDE t = 0.75 in
BEAM YIELD STRESS Fy = 50 ksi L = 4.25 in
TRIAL WELD SIZE w = 1/4 in

USE (4) - 3/4" x 4-1/4" x 7' -2" PLATES, WITH WELD 1/4" AT EACH SIDES, TOP & BOTTOM.
