Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A steel beam section has a flange width of 8 inches and a flange thickness of 0.4 inches. If the yield strength (Fy) is 50 ksi and its web thickness is 0.25 inches, calculate if this section is partially compact and determine the design considerations.
💡 Hint: You need to assess both flange and web in your evaluation.
Question 2
Design a beam with an unsupported height of 20 inches that is deemed partially compact. Describe how you could enhance its strength against local buckling.
💡 Hint: Think about how additional features can support overall integrity.
