Chapter 5, Problem 5.11.11P

The three beams shown have approximately the same cross-sectional area. Beam 1 is a W 14 X 82 with flange plates; beam 2 consists of a web plate with four angles; and beam 3 is constructed of 2 C shapes with flange plates.

  1. Which design has the largest moment capacity?
  2. Which has the largest shear capacity?
  3. Which is the most economical in bending?
  4. Which is the most economical in shear?

Assume allowable stress values are: = 18 ksi and ra=11 ksi. The most economical beam is that having the largest capacity-to-weight ratio. Neglect fabrication costs in answering parts (c) and (d) above. Note: Obtain the dimensions and properties of all rolled shapes from tables in Appendix F.

Calculation:

Refer Table-F-1(a) “Properties of wide flange section” to obtain (Aw)1 as 24in , (Iw)1 as 881in4 , b1 as 8in , t1 as 0.52in , tf1 as 0.855in , bf1 as 10.1in .

Substitute 881in4 for (Iw)1 , 8in for b1 , 0.52in for t1 , 14.3in for (hw)1 in the Equation (I)

  I1=881in4+2×[8in ( 0.52in ) 312+(8in)(0.52in)( 14.3in 2 + 0.52in 2 )2]=881in4+2(0.937 in4+228.42 in4)=1339.71in4

Substitute 0.52in for t1 and 14.3in for (hw)1 in the Equation (II).

  h1=14.3in+2×0.52in=14.3in+1.04in=15.34in

Substitute 24in for (Aw)1

  8in for b1 , and 0.52in for t1 in the Equation (III).

  A1=24in+2×(8in×0.52in)=24in2+8.32in2=32.32in2

Substitute 1339.71in4 for I1 , 15.34in for h1 in the Equation (IV).

  S1=2×1339.71 in415.34in=2×87.33in3=174.66in3

Refer Table-F-4(a) “Properties of wide equal legs L-shape channel” L6×6×12 to obtain

  Aa as 5.77in2 , Ia as 19.9in4 , b2 as 0.675in , t2

  19.9in4 , and Ca as 1.67in .

Substitute 0.675in for b2 , 14in for t2 , 19.9in4 for Ia , 5.77in2 for Aa and 1.67in for Ca in the Equation (V).

  I2=( 0.675in) ( 14in )312+4[19.9in4+5.77in2( 14in 2 1.67in)2]=154.35in4+4(19.9 in4+163.92 in4)=889.62in4

Substitute 0.675in for b2 , 14in for t2 , and 5.77in2 for Aa in the Equation (VI).

  A2=4(5.77 in2)+(14in)(0.675in)=23.08in2+9.45in2=32.53in2

Substitute 889.62in4 for I2 and 14in for h2 in the Equation (VII).

  S2=2×889.62 in414in=2×63.54in3=127.09in3

Refer Table-F-3(a) “Properties of C-shape channel” for C15×150 to obtain hc as 15in , t3 as 0.375in , Ic as 404in4 , b3 as 4in , Ac as 14.7in2 .

Substitute 15in for hc and 0.375in for t3 . in the Equation (VIII).

  h3=15in+2×(0.375in)=15in+0.75in=15.75in

Substitute 404in4 for Ic , 4in for b3

  4in for t3 and 15in for h in the Equation (IX).

  I3=2×404in4+2[4in ( 0.375in ) 3112+(4in×0.375in)( 15in 2 + 0.375in 2 )2]=808in4+2[0.0176in4+88.65in4]=808in4+177.33in4=985.33in4

Substitute 14.7in2 for Ac , 4in for b3 and 4in for t3 in the Equation (X).

  A3=2(14.7 in2)+2(4in)(0.375in)=29.4in2+3in2=32.4in2

Substitute 985.33in4 for I3 and 15.75in for h3 in the Equation (XI).

  S3=2×985.33 in415.75in=2×62.56in3=125.12in3

Since stress due to moment is inversely proportional to section modulus, therefore the beam which has the highest section modulus will have the highest capacity.

The value of the section modulus of the beam-1 is highest i.e., (S1=174.66in3)

Conclusion:

The beam of the largest momentum capacity. is beam-1.
