Assignment No. 3 - 3CE-1

The document provides instructions and problems for a steel design assignment. It instructs the student to show the complete derivation of the Euler buckling load formula in the first problem. The second problem asks the student to design end diagonals and top chord members of a truss using W12 sections, A36 steel and LRFD assumptions. The third problem asks the student to determine the safe load capacity of a braced column member using a W12x72 section, A36 steel and LRFD.

STUDENT NUMBER: 16-11022-945

INSTRUCTION:

I. Use five (5) decimal places for your calculations but record your final answer in two (2) decimal
places. The following ground rules will apply in the grading of problem sets for this course. Points
will be deducted for each of the following items:
 No sketches where sketches are necessary or desirable.
 No units where units are applicable.
 No rounding-off of final answers to an appropriate decimal place and no underlining of final
answers.
 Not numbering each page and each problem.
 Each problem should be seated on a new sheet of paper.

II. 25 points each problem

2. For the truss in previous problem, design the end diagonals and top chord members, Groups E, F
and G, using W12 sections, A36 steel and LRFD. Assume k = 0.9 and all joints are adequately
laterally supported. Pu = 270 kN.
