A tee shape made from A572 Grade 65 steel is fabricated from two plates of steel. The flange plate is 0.625 in. × 16 in., and the stem plate is 0.500 in. × 7 in. Determine whether the shape is compact, noncompact or slender.

An unsymmetrical flexural member consists of a 3” × 19” top flange, a 3” × 15” bottom flange, and a 1” × 47” web. Determine the distance from the top of the shape to the horizontal plastic neutral axis.

The beam is braced at A, B, and C. Determine the lateral-torsional-buckling modification factor, Cb, for the unbraced length AB. Let P = 100 kip, L1 = 16 ft, and L2 = 7 ft.

Determine the nominal flexural strength, Mn, of a W16x36 for a simple span of 22 ft with continuous lateral support. Use Fy = 85 ksi and Cb = 1.0.

A WT5x16.5 beam made from A992 steel would be classified as _______.

Determine the value of the section modulus, S, about the horizontal z axis for the section. Let bf = 10 in., d = 24 in., tw = 0.250 in., and tf = 0.750 in.

The beam is braced at A, B, and C. Determine the lateral-torsional-buckling modification factor, Cb, for the unbraced length AB. Let w = 7 kip/ft, LAB = 13 ft, and LBC = 6 ft.

Determine the nominal flexural strength, Mn, of a W12x40 for a simple span of 14 ft with continuous lateral support. Use Fy = 80 ksi and Cb = 1.0.
