I. True or false (write your answer on the space provided)

1) Steel purlins are considered beams loaded uniformly all throughout its entire length. _______________
2) Wind loads are also considered as dead load. ________________
3) Angle bars are usually used as steel purlins in a trusses system. ______________
4) Wide flanges and American standard beams are the most common steel beams. ________________
5) Non compact section are section with lateral support all throughout its entire span. __________________
6) Yield stress Fy is the capacity of steel section in Mpa. ________________
7) Compact sections are sections with lateral support. ________________
8) Steel structures are connected using bolts, rivets and welding. __________________
9) Steel structures can also be used for towers and bridges. _________________
10) Steel pipes are commonly used as steel reinforcement for columns. _______________

III. PROBLEM SOLVING

A simply supported beam having a span of10m A simply supported beam having a span of 8m
carries a moving load 8 kN, 3 KN and10 kN carries a uniform load of 20kN/m over its entire
respectively. Its has a fixed distance of 1.5m on length and a concentrated load P at midspan.
all the loads. Fy = 350 MPa. Properties of the beam
Fy = 375 Mpa
Properties of the beam Flange width b = 450mm
W24 x55 Flange thickness tf = 25mm
Depth = 590mm Web height d = 600mm
Flange Width = 180mm Web thickness tw= 30mm
tw = 20 mm Properties of the beam
tf = 22 mm a. Solve for I Flange width = 465mm
b. Check if compact or partially or non- Flange thickness = 25mm
compact section Web height = 570mm
a. Compute the actual bending stress and c. c. Solve for the load P at midspan Web thickness = 30mm
check if safe or not
From the maximum moment obtained above, solve
for the maximum allowable bending stress of the
beam and compare with allowable Fb=0.60Fy
(Fy=400 Mpa)
