4. Determine C b for a uniformly loaded, simply supported W shape with lateral support at its ends only.

Solution:

@A

M a=70 ( 5 ) −7 ( 5 ) ( 52 )=262. 5 KN −m
@B

M b=70 ( 10 ) −7 (10 ) ( 102 )=350 KN −m

@C

M c =70 ( 50 )−7 ( 15 ) ( 152 )=262.5 KN −m

12.5 M max
C b=
2.5 M max +3 M a+ 4 M b +3 M c

C b=1.14

If F y =345 MPa , does this beam have adequate strength?

Given:
