Instruction: Solve the following problems. Show your brief solution. Kindly box your final answer.
1. A W14 x 95 having a span of 9m carries a uniform load “w” which is laterally supported at its ends only.
A lateral concentrated load of 25KN acting at the flange of the mid span of the beam. Using Grade 50
steel Fy = 344.5 MPa, determine the safe value of “w”.
Properties of the section
A = 18000 mm2
d = 358.65 mm
bf = 369.44
tf = 19 mm
tw = 11.81 mm
Sx = 2474.4 x 103
Sy = 865.2 x 103

2. The spacing of the truss is 4.6 m on center. Sag rods are used in the mid points between trusses. Assume
full lateral support is applied by the roof. Use A36 steel. Assume all loads acting on the purlins to be
acting at the centroid of the purlins to prevent torsion. Spacing of purlins along the top chord is 1.40 m.
Pitch of truss = ¼ .The purlins are subjected to the following loads. (No. of purlins – round off to the next
whole number.
Snow = 1440 N/m2 of roof surface
Roofing = 288 N/m2 of roof surface
Roof Live Load = 1 KPa
Wind surface = 720 N/m2 perpendicular to the
roof surface.
Determine the diameter of sagrod and tie rods
