    The document appears to be an assignment containing multiple bending beam problems involving steel W-shapes. It provides properties of various W-shapes and asks students to calculate things like maximum uniform loads, allowable bending moments, required lateral support spacing, and values of concentrated loads that satisfy given conditions. The problems involve determining section properties, calculating bending stresses, and ensuring stresses do not exceed allowable values.

    BENDING MEMBERS

    1. Consider a simply supported beam which is made of a W shape of ASTM A992 steel.
    The beam is loaded with uniform load througout it span. Assuming the lateral
    supports are placed at the ends only, determine the maximum uniform load it can
    support in addition to its own weight if:
    a. its span is 3 m. (765.360 kN/m)
    b. its span is 5 m. (249.313 kN/m)
    c. its span is 7 m. (115.170 kN/m)
    d. its span is 10 m. (38.362 kN/m)
    Properties of W460x177
    Gross Area = 22 600 mm 2 Plastic Section Modulus, Zx = 4290 x 103 mm3
    Overall Depth = 483 mm Elastic Section Modulus, Sx = 3790 x 103 mm3
    Flange Width = 287 mm Plastic Section Modulus, Zy = 1130 x 103 mm3
    Flange thickness = 26.9 mm Elastic Section Modulus, Sy = 736 x 103 mm3
    Web thickness = 16.6 mm

    2. A simply supported-beam is made-up of a built-up section whose dimensions are


    shown below. All members are made of ASTM A36 steel and the flanges are
    continuously connected to the web by means of fillet weld. Assume that the lateral
    supports are placed at the ends only, determine the allowable bending moment of the
    beam if the span is:
    a. 4 m (857.76 kN m)
    b. 6 m (785.74 kN m)
    c. 10 m (728.18 kN m)
    d. 16 m (455.11 kN m)
    HINT: You must solve first the moment of inertia of the shape and use Fb = MC/I to
    solve for the moment capacity of the shape.

    3. A simple beam, 12 m long, is loaded with a superimposed uniform load of 4.5 kN/m
    and two equal concentrated loads located at the middle thirds of the beam. The shape
    of the beam is W310x74 whose properties are shown below. Assume Fy = 300 MPa.
    Properties of W310x74
    Gross Area = 9 420 mm2 Plastic Section Modulus, Zx = 1180 x 103 mm3
    Overall Depth = 310 mm Elastic Section Modulus, Sx = 1050 x 103 mm3
    Flange Width = 205 mm Plastic Section Modulus, Zy = 349 x 103 mm3
    Flange thickness = 16.3 mm Elastic Section Modulus, Sy = 228 x 103 mm3
    Web thickness = 9.40 mm
    a. If lateral supports will be provided, what must be its maximum spacing so that
    the bending strength of the beam is maximized? Round off the final answer to the
    nearest one decimal place, in meters. (2.30 m)
    b. What must be the value of each concentrated load if the compression flange of the
    beam is fully supported against lateral buckling? (28.458 kN)
    c. If the beam is laterally supported at the midspan, what is the allowable bending
    stress? (148.642 MPa)
    d. If the beam is laterally supported at the midspan, what is the value of each
    concentrated load? (15.501 kN)

    4. A beam is loaded as shown below. The superimposed uniform load of the beam is 7
    kN/m. The beam is made of W360x134 whose properties are shown below. Fy = 290
    MPa. Assume the beam is laterally supported at the ends only.
    Properties of W360x134
    Gross Area = 17 100 mm 2 Plastic Section Modulus, Zx = 2570 x 103 mm3
    Overall Depth = 356 mm Elastic Section Modulus, Sx = 2340 x 103 mm3
    Flange Width = 368 mm Plastic Section Modulus, Zy = 1240 x 103 mm3
    Flange thickness = 18.0 mm Elastic Section Modulus, Sy = 818 x 103 mm3
    Web thickness = 11.2 mm
    a. What is the allowable bending stress of the beam? (174 MPa)
    b. What must be the value of concentrated load so that the allowable bending stress
    is not exceeded? (183.894 kN)
