A W14x48 made with A992 steel is pinned at both ends and braced in the weak direction as shown. Can it support a dead load of 100 kips and a live load of 180 kips? Use ASD. Let L1 = 30.6 ft, L2 = 14.6 ft, and L3 = 16.0 ft.

Determine the effective length factor, Kx, for column FG of the frame, assuming that the frame is sidesway inhibited and that all of the assumptions on which the alignment charts were developed are met.Girders BF, CG and DH are W18 x 35 and have a length of L1 = 20 ft.Girders FJ, GK and HL are W21 x 55 and have a length of L2 = 36 ft.Columns AB, EF and IJ are W10 x 88 and have a length of L3 = 16 ft.Columns BC, FG and JK are W10 x 45 and have a length of L4 = 10 ft.Columns CD, GH and KL are W10 x 26 and have a length of L4 = 10 ft.

A W12 x 50 column is made from ASTM A36 steel and has a length of 34 ft with Kx = 2.3 and Ky = 1.0. Determine the nominal compressive strength, Pn, for this column. Assume the shape is nonslender.

A W16 x 50 column is made from ASTM A572 Gr. 42 steel and has a length of 30 ft with Kx = 1.9 and Ky = 1.0. Determine the nominal compressive strength, Pn, for this column. Assume the shape is nonslender.

Bending is about the x-axis of each member. Determine the value for G (that would be used for GA or GB in the alignment charts) at point F in the frame.Girders BF, CG and DH are W18 x 46 and have a length of L1 = 20 ft.Girders FJ, GK and HL are W21 x 50 and have a length of L2 = 30 ft.Columns AB, EF and IJ are W10 x 68 and have a length of L3 = 14 ft.Columns BC, FG and JK are W10 x 39 and have a length of L4 = 10 ft.Columns CD, GH and KL are W10 x 30 and have a length of L4 = 10 ft.

A W10 x 77 column is made from ASTM A36 steel and has a length of 25 ft with Kx = 2.4 and Ky = 1.0. Determine the nominal compressive strength, Pn, for this column. Assume the shape is nonslender.

A column is fabricated by bolting a 5/8 x 6 plate to the top of a W14x120. Determine the distance from the bottom of the W-shape to the centroid of the composite cross section.

A W14x176 made with A992 steel is pinned at both ends and braced in the weak direction as shown. Determine the value of the controlling slenderness ratio Lc/r. Let L1 = 23 ft, L2 = 8 ft, and L3 = 15 ft.

Use the Jackson-Mooreland Alignment Charts and the values for G shown below to determine the value of K for a member in a moment frame.GA = 20GB = 6

If a support is fixed, the value of G should be taken as _____.
