This document provides instructions for a final exam assignment for a structural design course. Students are asked to design W14 steel shapes for the columns and beams of a single-bay multistory frame, given specified loads, material properties, and dimensions. They must carry out at least one iteration of the design cycle and state any assumptions. The total axial load on the bottom story columns and total horizontal wind load are provided.

Assigned: 26 April 2006 Due: 08 May 2006 in CEE office by 9am
Design W14 shapes for the members of the lowest story of a single-bay multistory unbraced frame, part of which is shown below (the frame is indeterminate to one degree). The axial compression is the total load acting on the bottom story columns and the wind load P H is the total horizontal service wind load acting at point B for the entire frame. The steel is A992 (F y =50 ksi, E =29000 ksi). Assume same section for columns AB and DC. Also assume that the columns of the second story have same section as for the first story.
Carry out at least one iteration of the design cycle. If you make any other assumptions in your work, state them clearly.
