Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A steel beam with a gross area of 15 in² and a yield strength of 60 ksi is subjected to a tension load. Calculate its maximum design strength based on yielding.

💡 Hint: Remember to include the resistance factor in your calculations.

Question 2

Consider an angle connection with a net area of 12 in² and an ultimate strength of 50 ksi under tension. What is its design strength?

💡 Hint: Don’t forget to account for the area and resistance factor!
