AISC 360-10 Example 001

The document summarizes an analysis of the bending capacity of a W18x50 beam subjected to uniform loads. It includes the beam properties, loads, analysis steps, and compares the results to independent calculations. The analysis checks for section compactness, determines the bending moment capacities for three unsupported lengths, and verifies good agreement with independent calculations with less than 0.2% difference.

is loaded with a uniform load of 0.45 klf (D) and 0.75 klf (L). The flexural
moment capacity is checked for three unsupported lengths in the weak direction,
Lb = 5 ft, 11.667 ft and 35 ft.

Non-Uniform Moment Magnification Factor:


For the lateral-torsional buckling limit state, the non-uniform moment magnification
factor is calculated using the following equation:
12.5M max
Cb = Rm 3.0 Eqn. 1
2.5M max + 3M A + 4 M B + 3M C
where MA = first quarter-span moment, MB = mid-span moment, MC = second quarter-
span moment.
The required moments for Eqn. 1 can be calculated as a percentage of the maximum
mid-span moment. Since the loading is uniform and the resulting moment is symmetric:
