has an unstiffened web. A point load is applied to the top flange at 2m. From the left support. The beam spans 12 m. Use A36 steel with yield strength of Fy = 248 Mpa. 1. Compute the maximum value of point load that may be applied without web crippling occurring. Properties of W30 x 116 d = 762 mm; K = 1.28 mm; bf = 266.7 mm; tf = 21.59 mm; tw = 14.33 mm

Problem 1. A W30 x 116 beams has the top flange restrained against lateral displacement and rotation and has an unstiffened web. A point load is applied to the top flange at 2m. From the left support. The beam spans 12 m. Use A36 steel with yield strength of Fy = 248 Mpa.

1. Compute the maximum value of point load that may be applied without web crippling occurring.

Properties of W30 x 116

d = 762 mm; K =

1.28 mm;

bf = 266.7 mm;

tf = 21.59 mm;

tw = 14.33 mm
