Using both LFRD and ASD, select the most economical sections, with Fy = 50 ksi,
unless otherwise specified, and assuming full lateral bracing for the compression
flanges. Working or service loads are given for each case, and beam weights are not

5. The accompanying figure shows the arrangement of beams and girders that are
used to support a 5 in. reinforced concrete floor for a small industrial building.
Design the beams and girders assuming that they are simply supported. Assume
full lateral support of the compression flange and a live load of 80 psf. Concrete
weight is 150 lb/ft3.

6. A W18 X 55 of A992 steel is used on a simple span of 15 ft and has lateral

support of compression flange at its ends only. If the only dead load present is
the beam self-weight, what is the largest concentrated live load that can be
placed at 11/3 points of the beam? Determine Cb. Repeat if lateral bracing is
supplied at the beam ends and at the concentrated loads. Determine Cb.

7. The beam shown is assumed to consist of 50 ksi steel.

a. Select the lightest W section available by using plastic analysis and assuming
full lateral support is provided for its compression flanges.
b. Design the beam using elastic analysis with the service loads and the 0.90
rule and assuming full lateral support is provided for its compression flanges.
