Bending is about the x-axis of each member in the unbraced frame. Determine the value for G (that would be used for GA or GB in the alignment charts) at point G in the frame. Girders BF, CG and DH are W18 x 46 and have a length of L1 = 26 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 77 and have a length of L3 = 16 ft.Columns BC, FG and JK are W10 x 45 and have a length of L4 = 12 ft.Columns CD, GH and KL are W10 x 33 and have a length of L4 = 12 ft.

When using the column load tables for unsymmetrical shapes, there is no need to account for slender compression elements, because that has already been done.

Can an A992 steel WT15 x 62 column with an effective length of 16 feet in both directions support a dead load of 120 kips and a live load of 60 kips? Use LRFD.

Bending is about the x-axis of each member in the unbraced frame. Determine the value for G (that would be used for GA or GB in the alignment charts) at point G in the frame. Girders BF, CG and DH are W21 x 44 and have a length of L1 = 24 ft.Girders FJ, GK and HL are W21 x 50 and have a length of L2 = 34 ft.Columns AB, EF and IJ are W10 x 77 and have a length of L3 = 14 ft.Columns BC, FG and JK are W10 x 45 and have a length of L4 = 12 ft.Columns CD, GH and KL are W10 x 26 and have a length of L4 = 12 ft.

A W14x74 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 = 28 ft, L2 = 8 ft, and L3 = 20 ft.

A W14x61 made with A992 steel is pinned at both ends and braced in the weak direction as shown. Can it support a dead load of 140 kips and a live load of 220 kips? Use LRFD. Let L1 = 24.4 ft, L2 = 8.4 ft, and L3 = 16.0 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 = 4GB = 6

A column is fabricated by bolting a 3/4 x 6 plate to the bottom of a W14x159. Determine the distance from the bottom of the plate to the centroid of the composite cross section.

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 55 and have a length of L1 = 26 ft.Girders FJ, GK and HL are W24 x 68 and have a length of L2 = 28 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 W8 x 67 column is made from ASTM A36 steel and has a length of 21 ft with Kx = 2.1 and Ky = 1.0. Determine the nominal compressive strength, Pn, for this column. Assume the shape is nonslender.
