Beam Stress Calculation Problem Set

This document is a problem set containing two situations with multiple choice questions about calculating allowable bending stress for steel beams of different lengths and sections. Situation 1 provides the section properties of a W24x103 beam that is simply supported at its ends and laterally supported at the supports. It asks to determine the allowable bending stress for lengths of 2m, 4m, and 9m. Situation 2 provides the section properties of an A36 steel beam with a 7m simple span that is laterally unsupported at the supports, and asks to find the radius of gyration, slenderness ratio, and allowable bending stress.

Situation 1:

A W 24 x 103 is used as a beam that is simply supported at its ends. The properties of the section is as follows:

d = 623.10 mm Ix = 1,248,694,000,000 mm4


tw = 14.00 mm Sx = 4,008,005 mm3
bf = 228.60 mm rx = 252.74 mm
tf = 24.90 mm Iy = 49,532,000,000 mm4
A = 19,548.00 mm2 Sy = 433,350.83 mm4
W = 153.76 kg/m ry = 50.34 mm
rt = 59.18 mm

The beam is laterally supported at supports only. Use F y = 248 MPa.

1. Determine the allowable bending stress for a length of 2 m.


2. Determine the allowable bending stress for a length of 4 m.
3. Determine the allowable bending stress for a length of 9 m.
Situation 2:

A36 steel beam having a simple span of 7m is laterally unsupported and the section has the following properties:

bf = 210 mm
d = 530 mm
tf = 16 mm
tw = 18 mm

The beam is restrained against lateral buckling only at the supports.

1. Find rt
2. Find the slenderness ratio
3. Find the allowable bending stress.
