Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A simply supported W section beam has a moment capacity of 2000 ft-lb and a plastic section modulus of 50 in^3. Calculate the yield strength and discuss implications if the yield strength exceeds design limitations.
💡 Hint: Remember to convert units if necessary.
Question 2
If a rolled steel beam experiences a lateral load without proper support, illustrate how that affects the beam’s integrity with specific examples of failure modes.
💡 Hint: Think about how structural design principles aim to mitigate such failures.
