A W14x82 of A992 steel is to be investigated for use as a beam-column in an unbraced frame. The length is 13 feet. First-order analyses of the frame were performed for both the sway and nonsway cases. The factored loads and moments corresponding to one of the load combinations to be investigated are given for this member in the following table. The multiplier to account for P-δ effects was determined to be 1.20, and the multiplier to account for P-Δ effects was determined to be 1.12. Determine the required second-order axial strength, Pr, of the member.Type of analysisPu (kip)Mtop (kip-ft)Mbottom (kip-ft)Nonsway3453533Sway13055100

Using LRFD, determine the value of the AISC interaction equation for a W12x106 made from ASTM A992. Let L = 16 ft, Kx = Ky = 1.0, and Cb = 1.0. The factored loads are Pnt = 162.8 kip, Mnt = 266.4 kip-ft, The member is part of a braced frame, bending is about the x axis, and the LRFD moment amplification factor has been determined to be B1 = 1.023.

Compute the LRFD moment amplification factor B1 for the W8x58 made from ASTM A992 steel with L = 15 ft, P = 300 kip, M = 270 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 40% dead load and 60% live load. The frame analysis was performed consistent with the effective length method, so the flexural rigidity was unreduced.

Compute the LRFD elastic critical buckling strength, Pe1, for the W10x88 made from ASTM A992 steel with L = 13 ft, P = 540 kip, M = 280 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 30% dead load and 70% live load. The frame analysis was performed using the requirements for the approximate second-order analysis method meaning that a reduced stiffness was used.
