CFVR2308 - Steel checking according to LRFD
W-Shape beam subjected to combined torsion, flexure, shear and axial compression force according to LRFD 2nd Edition
A steel pinned-pinned beam with an unbraced length of 30 feet with W 14x82 section is subjected to uniform dead load of 0.45 kip/ft and a uniform live load of 0.69 kip/ft and both 0.20 kip/ft for the other perpendicular plane. These loads have 0.3 ft of eccentricity to take into account torsional forces.
Determine the section classification, required normal and shear stress and total criterion according to LRFD.
