GIVEN DATA

U.D.L: Dead Load = 0.5kips/ft (with weight of beam it will become 0.56).

Live Load = 0.5 kips/ft

Span length = 30 ft

REQUIRED DATA

Design the beam with fy = 65 ksi

SOLUTION

MD = 1.2*0.56*(302/8) = 75.6 ft-kips

ML = 1.6*1.5*(302/8) = 270 ft-kips

MU = 270+75.6 = 346 ft-kips

MU = Фb*MP = 0.9*MP

MP = 384 ft-kips

MP = ZX*FY

ZX = MP/FY = 384*12/65 = 70.89 in2

Section from AISC manual we will try W12*50 with Zx = 72.4

LATERAL SUPPORT

Lp = 300*ry/(65)1/2 = 300*0.704/(65)1/2 = 26.94 in

Lp = 2.245 ft

This value of Lp would require braces at 2ft. However Zx for W12*50 > 70.89 in2 so Mn may be
sufficient with a larger bracing intervals.
