Question 1

What is the primary purpose of verifying a beam column's adequacy?

  • To ensure it meets aesthetic standards
  • To confirm it can withstand loading conditions
  • To calculate material costs

💡 Hint: Think about the meaning of verification in structural design.

Question 2

True or False: Inelastic buckling can occur even if a beam is made of strong material.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall the conditions under which buckling happens.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A W12 120 column is subject to an axial load of 25 kips and a moment of 60 k-ft. Calculate if this section is adequate after verifying all moment capacities and applying moment magnification.

💡 Hint: Make sure to calculate B for moment magnification before checking adequacy.

Question 2

How would the adequacy change if the yield stress of the material increased to 50 ksi? Recalculate the M_p and M_r and determine the adequacy.

💡 Hint: Analyze how increasing material strength alters moment capacities.
