The document summarizes the preliminary design steps for determining the web member dimensions of a steel beam. It calculates the depth and thickness of the web based on allowable stress limits to prevent flexural and vertical buckling. The depth is determined to be 85 inches. The minimum required thicknesses to prevent buckling are 0.548 inches from flexural buckling consideration and 0.289 inches from vertical buckling consideration.
