Problem 1-4

The size and cross-sectional areas are obtained from Part 1 of the AISCM as follows:

Size Self-weight (lb/ft.) Cross-sectional area (in2)
W14x22 22 6.49
W21x44 44 13.0
HSS 6x6x½ 35.11 9.74
L6x4x½ 16.2 4.75
C12x30 30 8.81
WT18x128 128 37.7

Problem 1-7

Plot the idealized stress-strain diagram for a 6-in. wide by ½-in. thick plate and a 6-in. wide by
1-in. thick plate of ASTM A36 steel. Assume that the original length between two points on the
specimen over which the elongation will be measured (i.e. the gage length) is 2-in.

Solution:

Gage length, Lo = 2 in.
For 6 x ½-in. plate, Area = (6 in.)(½ in.) = 3
in2 E = 29,000 ksi

P Stress = P/A Strain, = P/EA Elongation, Lo = Strain x gage length = Lo

For 6 x 1-in. plate, Area = (6 in.)(1 in.) = 6 in2

P Stress = P/A Strain, = P/EA Elongation, Lo = Strain x gage length = Lo

Problem 1-8

Determine the most economical layout of the roof framing (joists and girders) and the gage
(thickness) of the roof deck for a building with a 25 ft x 35 ft typical bay size. The total roof dead
load is 25 psf and the snow load is 35 psf. Assume a 1½” deep galvanized wide rib deck and an
estimated weight of roof framing of 6 psf.

*Assume beams (or joists) span the 35’ direction
