Use the Steel Construction Manual to determine the plastic moment capacity, Mp, of a W18x106 beam made of A992 steel.

Determine the maximum deflection for a W14x99 beam made of A913 Grade 70 steel. Let P = 3,600 lb and L = 23 ft. Ignore the weight of the beam.

Using LRFD, determine the design shear strength of a W14x109 made from A992 steel.

Determine the magnitude of the largest shear force (consider both positive and negative peaks). Use a = 18 ft, b = 6 ft, and w = 10 kips/ft. The reaction forces for this beam are Ay = 80.00 kips and By = 160.00 kips.

Using ASD, determine the nominal flexural strength of a W16x45 beam made from A992 steel that has lateral support at 10-ft intervals. Assume Cb = 1.0.

Using ASD, determine the allowable shear strength of a W12x120 made from A992 steel.

Using LRFD, determine the nominal flexural strength of a W16x45 beam made from A992 steel that has lateral support at 4-ft intervals. Assume Cb = 1.0.

Using ASD, determine the nominal flexural strength of a W18x46 beam made from A992 steel that has lateral support at 4-ft intervals. Assume Cb = 1.0.

Which of the following is true about the Red Scare of 1919–1920? 

Using ASD, determine the allowable shear strength of a W21x83 made from A992 steel.
