7.6. A W24×94 beam on a 6-ft span (see acompanying figure) underpins a column
that brings 110 kips dead load and 280 kips live load to its top flange at a location 2.5 ft
from the left support. The column bearing plate is 12 in. measured along the beam, and
the bearing plates at the end supports are each 8 in. Investigate this beam of A992 steel for
(a) flexure, (b) shear, and (c) satisfactory transmission of the reactions and concentrated
load (i.e., local web yielding, web crippling, and sidesway web buckling). Specify changes
(if any) required to satisfy the AISC Specification.

In accordance with AISC-J10.7, “At unframed ends of beams and girders not otherwise
restrained against rotation about their longitudinal axes, a pair of transverse stiffeners,
extending the full depth of the web, shall be provided.” The 24.2 in. bearing plate required
at the left reaction, the 13.8 in. bearing plate required at the right reaction, and the 23.7 in.
bearing plate required at the load are all too long. Bearing stiffeners should be provided.

7.15. Select the lightest W8section of A992 steel to use as a purlin on a roof sloped
30◦ to the horizontal. The span is 21 ft, the load is uniform 0.18 kip/ft dead load plus
the purlin weight and 0.34 kip/ft snow load. Lateral stability is assured by attachment of
the roofing to the compression flange. Assume the load acts through the beam centroid,
there are no sag rods, and biaxial bending must be assumed. Any torsional effect can be
resisted by the roofing and therefore it can be neglected.

9.13, Part b. Select the lightest W section for the situation shown in the accompanying
figure. The concentrated load W is 5 kips dead load and 15 kips live load. Assume lateral
support is provided at the reactions and the concentrated loads. Use A992 steel.

Wu = 1.2(5) = 6.00 kips (dead load only)

Wu = 1.2(5) + 1.6(15) = 60.0 kips
There are two loading cases:
For Loading Case 1, live load is on the span but not on the cantilevers. Maximum
moment at midspan.

For Loading Case 2, live load is on the cantilevers but not on the 30 ft span. Maximum
moment at the supports.
