Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A beam column with a yield strength of 50 ksi is subjected to an applied moment of 100 k-ft. Calculate whether the beam is adequate if its section modulus is 200 in^3.
💡 Hint: Always verify your moment capacities against the applied loads!
Question 2
Analyze a situation where a beam column has to support increased lateral loads. Discuss how this affects its design and what calculations need to be adapted.
💡 Hint: Consider the lateral-torsional buckling criteria!
