Problem 1P:

Chapter: Problem:

Design

Use A992 steel and select a W shape for the following

beam:

• Simply supported with a span length of 25 feet

• Continuous lateral support

• Service dead load = 1.0 kips/ft

• The service live load consists of a 35-kip concentrated load at the center of the span

There is no limit on the deflection.

a. Use LRFD.

b. Use ASD.

Step 1 of 16
Select the suitable W- shape for the beam after applying checks for moment and
shear.

Follow the procedure as follows:

(a)

Using Load Resistance and Factored Design Method

Check for Bending

Compute the factored loads acting on the beam as follows:

Calculate the factored concentrated load, as follows:

Here the applied concentrated dead load is and applied

concentrated live load is .

Substitute 0 kips for and 35 kips for :

Step 2 of 16
Calculate the factored uniformly distributed load,
as follows:

Here the uniformly distributed dead load on

beam is and the applied live load on
beam is .

Neglect the self-weight of the beam and check for it later.

Substitute for and for :

Step 3 of 16
For the given loading, the maximum bending
moment acts at the centre and is given by:

Here the length of the beam is L and the

maximum bending moment is .

Substitute for , 56 kips for and 25 ft for L:

Step 4 of 16
Check the value of nominal flexural strength of W- Sections from the table.

Try a

Check for flexural strength excluding the beam weight.

For a :

Here the nominal flexural strength is .

Compare the value of and .

Substitute the value of for and for :

Therefore, the section is safe in flexure if the self-weight

is not taken into consideration.

Step 5 of 16
Check for Beam Weight

Calculate the factored uniformly distributed load, as follows:

Here the self-weight of beam is , the

uniformly distributed dead load is
and the applied live load on beam is
.

Substitute for from the properties and dimensions table of part

1 of the Manual, for and for :

Step 6 of 16
Compute the maximum bending moment as follows:

Substitute for , 56 kips for and 25 ft for L:

Check for flexural strength:

For a :

Here the nominal flexural strength is

.

Compare the value of and

.

Substitute the value of for and

for :

Therefore the section is safe in flexure if the self-weight

is taken into consideration.

Hence, the beam is is flexure.

Step 7 of 16
Check for Shear:

Check the value of nominal shear strength of from the table.

For a :

Here the nominal shear strength is .

The maximum shear force for the above loading is at the supports
and is given by:

Substitute for , 56 kips for and 25 ft for L:

Step 8 of 16
Compare the value of and .

Substitute the value of for and

for :

Hence the beam is in shear.

As the beam is safe in shear and flexure, hence use a .

the applied live load on beam is .

Neglect the self-weight of the beam and check for it later.

Substitute for and for :

Step 11 of 16
For the given loading, the maximum bending moment acts
at the centre and is given by:

Here the length of the beam is L.

Substitute for , 35 kips for and 25 ft for L:

Step 12 of 16
Check the value of allowable flexural strength of W- Sections from the table.

Try a .

Check for flexural stress excluding the beam weight.

For a :

Here the allowable flexural strength is .

Compare the value of and .

Substitute the value of for and for :

Therefore, the section is safe in flexure if the self-weight

is not taken into consideration.

Step 13 of 16
Check for Beam Weight

Calculate the factored uniformly distributed load, as follows:

Here the self-weight of beam is , the uniformly

distributed dead load is and the applied live
load on beam is .

Substitute for from the properties and dimensions table of part

1 of the Manual, for and for :

Step 14 of 16
Compute the maximum bending moment as follows:

Substitute for , 35 kips for and 25 ft for L:

Check for flexural strength:

For a :

Here the allowable flexural stress is

Compare the value of and .

Substitute the value of for and for

Therefore the section is safe in flexure if the self-weight is

taken into consideration.

Hence the beam is is flexure.

Step 15 of 16
Check for Shear:

Check the value of allowable shear stress of from the table.

For a :

Here the nominal shear strength is .

The maximum shear force for the above loading is at the supports and is given by:

Substitute for , 35 kips for and 25 ft for L:

 Step 16 of 16

Compare the value of and .

Substitute the value of for and

for :

Hence the beam is in shear.

As the beam is safe in shear and flexure, hence use a
