CFVR8612 - AISC-ASD 14: Flexure Checking of an I Section, Weak Axis
Flexure checking according to AISC-ASD 14 of an I-shape section in the weak axis.
A steel beam is subjected to a uniform load of 0.1 k/in.
The beam has a length of 15 ft.
Section material properties: A529Gr50 , Fy = 50 ksf , Fu = 65 ksi
Geometric properties: W 10x12, Sy = 1.10 in^3 Zy = 1.74 in.^3 The aim of the example is to obtain the bending criterion about Y axis according to AISC-ASD 14.
