CFVR2305 - Steel Checking according to LRFD
Axial and bending checking according to LRFD 2nd Edition
A steel pinned-pìnned beam of 240 feet with W12x210 section is subjected to an axial compression force of 800 kips and different moments at both ends.
Determine the required flexural strength, plastic bending moment, total criterion, equivalent slenderness parameter and critical stress according to LRFD.
