Girder Selection for 36x30 ft Steel Bays

This document provides a summary of selecting interior floor girders for a 36 foot by 30 foot steel building bay. It analyzes load calculations and selects a W24x68 beam section to support the factored load of 5.2 kips per foot. Checks are performed to ensure the selected beam meets requirements for bending capacity, local buckling, shear capacity, and live load deflection. The selected beam is determined to meet all criteria and have a total installed cost of $1,989.

PROJECT: STEEL BUILDING DESIGN CASE STUDY

SUBJECT: GIRDER SELECTION (36x30 BAYS - BAY STUDY) SHEET 22 of 131

(OPTION II)
INTERIOR FLOOR GIRDER SELECTION LIVE LOAD REDUCTION CHECK - Bay Width = 36 ft.

INTERIOR FLOOR GIRDER


Tributary width Total Bay length = 30 (ft)
Beam Fy = 50 (ksi)
Typical Bay DL = 59.0 (lb/ft2)
Assumptions LL = 80.0 (lb/ft2)
#1 - Laterally Supported Tributary Width = 36 (ft)
#2 - Compact Sections Tributary Area (AT) = 1080.0 (ft2)
36 x 30 ft Bays KLL (ASCE-7 02 Table 4-2)= 2.0
30 AT * KLL = 2160.0
36 36 AT * KLL > 400 ft2 ? YES

Note: Live load reduction can be applied in accordance with ASCE 7-02 section 4.8.1
(see ASCE 7-02 Eq. 4-1)

L = Lo*(0.25+15/(KLLAT)^0.5) ASCE 7-02 Eq. 4-1 L= 46


L = reduced design live load value in psf
Lo = unreduced live load in psf
AI = Tributary area

WDL = 2124 Lb/ft


WLL = 1650 Lb/ft

Now, calculate a new value for Wu using the reduced live load as shown above
W u = [1.2*dead load + 1.6* reduced live load]
Wu = 5.19 klf
