A dystocia in which species is a true emergency, and a veterinarian should be called immediately?

Which of the following corresponds to the variable Pe1?

Using ASD, determine whether the following member satisfies the appropriate AISC interaction equation. Do not consider moment amplification. The loads are 50% dead and 50% live load. Bending is about the x-axis.Given:    W14x109, A992    380 kip axial compression    380 ft-kip bending moment    L = 15 ft    pin-pin connected    laterally braced at ends    Kx = Ky = 1

An unbraced rigid frame depends on the transfer of moments at its joints for stability.

Compute the ASD moment amplification factor B1 for the W8x58 made from ASTM A992 steel with L = 12 ft, P = 260 kip, M = 240 kip-ft, and Kx = Ky = 1.0. Bending is about the x axis. The member is part of a braced frame, and the given service loads are 50% dead load and 50% live load. The frame analysis was performed using the requirements for the approximate second-order analysis method meaning that a reduced stiffness was used.

The web members of roof trusses are sometimes considered beam-columns.

Which of the following corresponds to the variable B2?

Determine Cb for the member if the moments at the top and bottom are 100 ft-kip and 300 ft-kip, respectively.

Determine Cb for the member if the moments at the top and bottom are 180 ft-kip and 330 ft-kip, respectively.

Compute the value of Cm for a beam-column in reverse-curvature bending with a moment of 180 kip-ft on one end and a moment of 570 kip-ft on the other end.
