Quiz No. 4

This document is a quiz for a steel design course consisting of 3 problems. Problem 1 involves determining the maximum safe load for a simply supported beam. Problem 2 considers a cantilever beam carrying a factored uniform load and checks flexure and deflection. Problem 3 asks if a W12x35 beam is adequate for a continuous beam carrying a service uniform load using both LRFD and ASD design methods.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Use five (5) decimal places for your calculations but record your final answer/s in two (2) decimal places.
Each of your problem set solutions should be written on a new sheet of paper. The following rules will
apply in the grading of problem sets. Points will be deducted for each of the following items:

• No sketches where sketches are necessary or desirable as instructed.


• No units where units are applicable.
• Not rounding-off your final answers to an appropriate decimal place.
• Not boxing your final answers.
• Not numbering each page and each problem.

Note: No need to rewrite the problem. Just present your solutions. Use AISC section database if applicable.
Assume given loads as service load (unfactored) unless otherwise specified. Use the simplified formula
for Lr and Fcr.
