    2. The beam shown in Figure P5.5-9 is a W36 × 210. It is laterally supported at A and B. The 250 kip
    load is a service live load. Using the unfactored service loads,
    a. Compute Cb. Do not include the beam weight in the loading.(Ans. Cb=1.32)
    b. Compute Cb. Include the beam weight in the loading. (Ans. Cb=1.32)
    3. The beam shown in Figure P5.8-3 is a W16 × 31 of A992 steel and has continuous lateral support.
    The two concentrated loads are service live loads. Neglect the weight of the beam and determine
    whether the beam is adequate.
    a. Use LRFD. (Ans. φVn= 131 ksi, Adequate)
    b. Use ASD.

    4. Select a W section to serve a purlin between a roof trusses 7.2m on centers. The roof is assumed
    to support a deadload of 960 N/m2 of roof surface including its weight and snow load of 960 N/m 2 of
    horizontal roof surface projection. The slope of the foot truss is 1 vertically to 2 horizontally and the
    purlins are to be spaced 1.8m on centers. Use A36 steel Fy=248MPa. Assume loads pass through the
    center of gravity of the setion. Sag rods to be placed at the middle thirds between trussed.
    Use W 6 x 16.(Ans. Sf= 0.819)

    Properties of W Section Available


    Section Area Depth Bf Tf Tw Sx Sy
    W 6 x 16 3045.2 158.75 102.26 10.26 6.60 167148.05 35887.67

    5. Design a base plate for a W12 × 120 column supporting a service dead load of 75 kips and a
    service live load of 185 kips. The support will be a 16-inch × 16-inch concrete pier. Use A36 steel and
    fc′ = 3.5 ksi.
    a. Use LRFD. (Ans. PL 1 1/8 x 14’ x 14’)

    6. Design a bearing plate of A36 steel to support a beam reaction consisting of 20 kips dead load and
    50 kips live load. Assume that the bearing plate will rest on concrete with a surface area larger than
    the bearing area by an amount equal to 1 inch of concrete on all sides of the plate. The beam is a
    W27 × 94 with Fy = 50 ksi, and the concrete strength is fc′ = 3 ksi.
    a. Use LRFD. (Ans. PL 1 5/16 x 6’ x 11”)
