ANALYSIS
DETERMINE GOVERNING DESIGN LOADS ON SIGNAL W-SHAPES
Assume conservatively that the perpendiculat W-Shape only supports the H direction bending load, and the torsion load, T, convert to a coupling force on double W-Shapes.
For one of double W-Shapes, W18X65

Mx = (0.5 V + T / d) S2/ 8 = 142.9 ft-kips at middle Lb = 8.0 ft

P = 0.5 P = 48.0 kips at middle Lx = 8.0 ft
Vx = (0.5 V + T / d) S / 2 = 17.9 kips at end Ly = 8.0 ft
Vy = (0.5 H) S / 2 = 12.0 kips at end
For one perpendicular W-Shapes, W16X45

Mx = (0.5 H) S2/ 8 = 96.0 ft-kips at middle Lb = 8.0 ft

For stiff. plate vert. section, 0.5" x 16.9"

Mx = V d / 4 = 0.8 ft-kips at center Lb = 1.4 ft

P=Hs= 12.0 kips at center Ly = 2.0 ft
