    The document contains 8 structural engineering problems involving the design and analysis of beams, columns, and other structural elements. The problems calculate quantities like moment of inertia, bending stress, safe moment capacity, required plate width, plastic neutral axis location, section modulus, moment capacities, and interaction values to determine if sections meet required strength criteria. Design is considered under both Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and Allowable Stress Design (ASD) approaches. Materials include wood, steel, and composite steel-wood sections.

    Problem 1.

    The beam is made from three boards nailed


    together as shown. If the moment acting on the cross
    section is 600 N.m,
    a. Locate the neutral axis of the beam.
    b. Determine the moment of inertia of the
    neutral axis.
    c. The resultant force the bending stress
    produces on the top board.

    Problem 2. A 100 mm x 250 mm timber beam has a span of 4.80 m and carries a
    uniform load of 12 kN/m including its own weight. The necessary data of wood
    and steel are as follows:

    For wood:
    Modulus of elasticity = 16000 MPa
    Allowable flexural stress = 10.34 MPa

    For steel:
    Modulus of elasticity = 200000 MPa
    Allowable flexural stress = 124 MPa

    Determine:
    a. Safe moment capacity of the reinforced beam.
    b. The width of the steel plate that can be placed at the top and bottom
    of the wood section. Let the thickness of the wood = 8mm.

    Problem 3. Determine the width of the steel plate with a thickness of 12.5 mm
    fastened to the bottom of the wood beam 150mm x 300mm in dimension so that the
    working stresses of 8 MPa for wood and 120 MPa for steel are reached
    simultaneously. Use Es/Ew = 20.

    Problem 4. Select the lightest W10 section for a tension member that can carry
    a service dead load of 334 kN and a service live load of 445 kN. The section
    has two lines of 22-mm-diameter bolt in each flange, 3 bolts per line and has
    a spacing of 62.5 mm center to center of the bolt. The member is 7.3 m long.
    Use A992 steel (Fy = 345 MPa, Fu = 450 MPa).

    Problem 5. Select a W16 section for a compression member. The total service
    load that a member can carry is 1242 kN with a dead-to-live load ratio of 5:11.
    The member has a span of 6.7 m with fixed and pinned supports at the bottom and
    top ends, respectively. Use the recommended K value and Fy = 345 MPa.

    Problem 6. An unsymmetrical flexural member consists of a 100mm x 550mm top


    flange, a 100mm x 400mm bottom flange, and a 25mm x 1650mm web.
    a. Determine the distance from the top of the shape to the horizontal plastic
    neutral axis.
    b. Compute the plastic section modulus Z with respect to the minor principal
    axis.
    c. If A572 Grade 50 (Fy = 345 MPa) steel is used, what is the plastic moment
    Mp for the horizontal plastic neutral axis?

    Problem 7 (equivalent to 2 points). The


    W18 x 40 beam shown below is laterally
    supported at the ends and at the 1/3
    points (points 1, 2, 3, and 4). The
    concentrated load is a service live
    load. Use Fy = 345 MPa and determine
    the following:
    a. Lp
    b. Lr
    c. Cb
    d. Mn (Check for both FLB and LTB)
    e. Is the beam adequate for flexure using LRFD?
    f. Is the beam adequate for flexure using ASD?
    g. Is the beam adequate for deflection?
    Problem 8 (equivalent to 3 points). The figure shown is a W18 x 71 beam-column
    and an A992 steel section (Fy = 345 MPa). Determine the following:
    a. For the available strengths:
     Nominal strength, Pn
     Nominal moment, Mn
    b. For LRFD:
     Required strength, Pu
     Required moment, Mu
     Interaction Value and conclusion if it is adequate or not
    c. For ASD:
     Required strength, Pa
     Required moment, Ma
     Interaction Value and conclusion if it is adequate or not
