In the built-up girder shown below that has an unbraced length of 25 ft. (L-25 ft) and moment gradient factor of C,-1, determine the maximum flexural design strength. E-29000 ksi Fy-50 ksi PL 25x0.6" PL 35*0.3" PL 25x0.6"
A W36x210 can be used for Transfer Girder ‘A’ as shown in the elevation next page.Assume the LRFD loads on the ‘Transfer Girder’ are as follows:Pu= 200 kips from the column above. Assume also that the loads from self-weight of thewu = 2.0 kip/ft (girder self weight and beams framing into this transfer girder are equivalentto a uniformly distributed load). These loads are shown in the last figure.a) Check whether the W36x210 ‘Transfer Girder’ is adequate for bending and shear.Assume the unbraced length Lb =20 ft.b) Suppose that service loads, w and P, are both 50% dead load and 50% live load. Does theW36x210 satisfy a service live load deflection limit of L/480?
a) Name one benefit of a moment frame over a braced frame and name one benefit of a braced frame over a moment frame. b) Name and describe the two major failure modes of a beam-column member comprised of a W-section. c) What is the major difference of a beam-column from a beam or a column?  d) Why are moment magnifications needed for beam-columns?  Briefly explain each of the two.
