BC-14 Moment Magnification:- C m = 1.0 (transverse loads and ends unrestrained). M u = B i M nt = = k·ft Interaction Formula:- Section is adequate !
BC-15 The beam column shown below is part of a braced frame. The factored loads and moments are given as shown. Bending is on strong axis. K x L x = K y L y = 14 ft. The W 14 61 section is made of A572 Gr 50 steel. Is this member safe ? Example BC – 4 A)Determine interaction formula, and Column Action :- Solution:-
BC-16 B) Beam Behavior:- From the Beam Design Charts with C b = 1.0, L b = 14 b M n = 344 kips·ft. (page 3.121) For actual (C b ) 1 see the moment diagram of the column: b M n = kips·ft. b M p = 383 k·ft (page 3 – 17 – Z x tables). (also confirmed on page 3 – 121).
