A wooden beam is fabricated from one (2 x 10 in) and two (2 x 4 in) pieces of. dimension lumber to form the l-beam cross section shown in Figure. The flanges of the beam are fastened to the web with nails that can safely transmit a force of (120 Ib) in direct shear. If the beam is subjected to a shear force of (500 lb), determine the maximum spacing (s) (along the length of the beam) required for *.the nails. Use l = 748 in4

Use the composite beam tables and select a W-shape and stud anchors for the following conditions: Span length = 18 6 Beam spacing = 9 ft Total slab thickness = 51 2 in. (the slab and deck combination weighs 57 psf). Lightweight concrete with a unit weight of 115 pcf is used Construction load = 20 psf Partition load = 20 psf Live load = 225 psf Fy=50 ksi and fc=4 ksi A cross section of the formed steel deck is shown in Figure P9.8-9. The maximum live-load deflection cannot exceed L/360 (use a lower-bound moment of inertia). a. Use LRFD. b. User ASD.

A W1422 acts compositely with a 4-inch-thick floor slab whose effective width b is 90 inches. The beams are spaced at 7 feet 6 inches, and the span length is 30 feet. The superimposed loads are as follows: construction load = 20 psf, partition load = 10 psf, weight of ceiling and light fixtures = 5 psf, and live load = 60 psf, A992 steel is used, and fc=4 ksi. Determine whether the flexural strength is adequate. a. Use LRFD. b. Use ASD.

Estimate the transverse tensile strength of the concrete in Problem 12.6.

A tensile test was performed on a metal specimen having a circular cross section with a diameter 0. 510 inch. For each increment of load applied, the strain was directly determined by means of a strain gage attached to the specimen. The results are, shown in Table: 1.5.1. a. Prepare a table of stress and strain. b. Plot these data to obtain a stress-strain curve. Do not connect the data points; draw a best-fit straight line through them. c. Determine the modulus of elasticity as the slope of the best-fit line.

The data in Table 1.5.3 were obtained from a tensile test of a metal specimen with a rectangular cross section of 0.2011in.2 in area and a gage length (the length over which the elongation is measured) of 2.000 inches. The specimen was not loaded to failure. a. Generate a table of stress and strain values. b. Plot these values and draw a best-fit line to obtain a stress-strain curve. c. Determine the modulus of elasticity from the slope of the linear portion of the curve. d. Estimate the value of the proportional limit. e. Use the 0.2 offset method to determine the yield stress.

A beam is part of the framing system for the floor of an office building. The floor is subjected to both dead loads and live loads. The maximum moment caused by the service dead load is 45 ft-kips, and the maximum moment for the service live load is 63 ft-kips (these moments occur at the same location on the beam and can therefore be combined). a. If load and resistance factor design is used, determine the maximum factored bending moment (required moment strength). What is the controlling AISC load combination? b. What is the required nominal moment strength for a resistance factor of 0.90? c. If allowable strength design is used, determine the required moment strength. What is the controlling AISC lead combination? d. What is the required nominal moment strength for a safety factor of 1.67?

Use an elastic analysis and determine the maximum load in the weld (in kips per inch of length).

A plate girder must be designed for the conditions shown in Figure P10.7-4. The given loads are factored, and the uniformly distributed load includes a conservative estimate of the girder weight. Lateral support is provided at the ands and at the load points. Use LRFD for that following: a. Select the, flange and web dimensions so that intermediate stiffeners will he required. Use Fy=50 ksi and a total depth of 50 inches. Bearing stiffeners will be used at the ends and at the load points, but do not proportion them. b. Determine the locations of the intermediate stiffeners, but do not proportion them.

A beam must be designed to the following specifications: Span length = 35 ft Beam spacing = 10 ft 2-in. deck with 3 in. of lightweight concrete fill (wc=115 pcf) for a total depth of t=5 in. Total weight of deck and slab = 51 psf Construction load = 20 psf Partition load = 20 psf Miscellaneous dead load = 10 psf Live load = 80 psf Fy=50 ksi, fc=4 ksi Assume continuous lateral support and use LRFD. a. Design a noncomposite beam. Compute the total deflection (there is no limit to be checked). b. Design a composite beam and specify the size and number of stud anchors required. Assume one stud at each beam location. Compute the maximum total deflection as follows: 1. Use the transformed section. 2. Use the lower-bound moment of inertia.
