Can an A992 steel WT15 x 62 column with an effective length of 16 feet in both directions support a dead load of 100 kips and a live load of 120 kips? Use LRFD.

If a compression member is supported differently with respect to each of its principal axes, the effective length will be different for the two directions.

Dogs are typically HYPERTHYROID and cats are typically HYPOTHYROID. 

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is produced by the:

A column is fabricated by bolting a 1/4 x 6 plate to the top and bottom of a W14x257. Determine the moment of inertia about the x axis.

To meet criteria for Generalized Anxiety Disorder, the patient must have excessive anxiety and worry about several events or activities over what period of time?

A W14x257 made with A992 steel is pinned at both ends and braced in the weak direction as shown. Determine the value of the controlling slenderness ratio Lc/r. Let L1 = 31 ft, L2 = 12 ft, and L3 = 19 ft.

A W14x283 made with A992 steel is pinned at both ends and braced in the weak direction as shown. Determine the value of the controlling slenderness ratio Lc/r. Let L1 = 31 ft, L2 = 11 ft, and L3 = 20 ft.

Failing to hold open the door for the person passing through behind you would not be considered “deviant behavior.”

Alfred Bandura and colleagues (1961) determined that children who watched aggressive behavior subsequently behaved aggressively by hitting an inflatable toy.  Their observations form the basis for Sykes and Matza’s theory regarding techniques of neutralization.
