Design Load Combination

Wuy = 1.2 DL + 1.6 LL+ 0.5W

= 1.2 (0.2424 kN/m) + 1.6 (0.75 kN/m) + 0.5(-0.13 kN/m)

Wuy =1.43 kN/m

Wux = 1.2 DL + 1.6 LL

= 1.2 (0.07kN/m) + 1.6 (0.22 kN/m) + 0.5(-0.42 kN/m)

Wuy =0.23 kN/m

Compute for ΦbMpx:

ΦbMpx = (0.90) (248 x) (45 x 103 mm3)

ΦbMpx = 10.044 kN-m

Compute for ΦbMpx:

Since the load is applied at the top flange, use only half of the capacity to
account for torsional effects.

ΦbMpx = (0.90) (248MPa) (3.50 x 10-5 m3)

 ΦbMpy = 7.812 kN-m

Compute for ΦbMpy:

Since the load is applied at the top flange, use only half of the capacity to
account for torsional effects.

ΦbMpy = (0.90) (248MPa) (4.40x 10-5 m3)

ΦbMpy = 4.91 kN-m

Using expression:

Mux/ ΦbMpx + Muy /ΦbMpy < 1.0
