Ix = 1530 in
CHECK FOR SERVICEABILITY
Required Moment of Inertia, I x for Live-Load Deflection Criterion
Δmax = L/360 for D + L

Δmidspan= wL /185EI= ML2/23.125EI 1.01 in
Ma = n/a ft-kip 0.17 < Δmax

1. Yielding
Mn = M p = Zx*Fy = 775.00 > 513 ft-kip AISC Manual Eq F2-1
OK
2. Lateral Torsional Buckling
Lb = 15.16 ft
Lp = 1.76*ry*sqrt(E/Fy) 9.29 < Lb check AISC Eq F2-5/Table 3-2
Lr = 1.95*rts*(E/0.7Fy)*sqrt(Jc/Sxho)*sqrt{1+ 28.5 > Lb check AISC Eq F2-6/Table 3-2
sqrt(1+6.76*[(0.7*Fy*Sx*ho)/(E*Jc)]^2)}
Therefore: Lp < Lb < Lr
(a) When Lp > Lb AISC Manual F2.2
the limits of lateral torsional buckling does not apply
Check Adequacy of W 18 x 86
Vn = 0.6*Fy*Aw*Cv = 264.96 > Required Vn OK AISC Manual Eq G2-1

Aw = d*tw = 8.83 in
h/tw = 33.5 < 2.24*sqrt(E/Fy) AISC Eq G2-2 governs
use Cv = 1.0 refer to table below
SUMMARY: Use: W 18 x 86
