Problem Set 3
1. For the beam loaded as shown, determine the following: 3. An A36 wide flange section is used as a 12 𝑚 simple beam.
a. Plastic moment at span AB. Determine the design bending stress of the section if:
b. Plastic moment under the 180 kN load. a. The beam has full lateral support.
c. Plastic moment under the 270 kN load. b. The beam is braced at the midspan.
d. Plastic moment at span CD. c. The beam has no lateral support.
Properties of the wide flange:
𝑏𝑓 = 175 𝑚𝑚 𝑡𝑓 = 12 𝑚𝑚
𝐷 = 260 𝑚𝑚 𝑡𝑤 = 9 𝑚𝑚
𝑘𝑑𝑒𝑠 = 10.5 𝑚𝑚 𝑐 = 1.0
𝐶𝑏 = 1.0 𝐽 = 443114 𝑚𝑚4
𝐶𝑤 = 1.01 × 1012
