V.AISC 360-16 W Flex Memb F.1-1A
Verify the available flexural strength of a continuously braced wide-flange member per the AISC 360-16 code.
Details
Verify the bending capacity of a W18x50. The member is used as a 35 ft simple span. The member is continuously braced. The material is ASTM A992 (Fy = 50 ksi).
Validation
Per the User Note in F2, the W18x35 has compact flanges in major axis bending. Therefore, flange local buckling does not control. Further, as the member is continuously braced, lateral-torsional buckling does not control.
