_______ are members subjected to bending and axial compression.

The symbol E represents _______.

Solve:        (2.34 x 104 ) x (1.38 x 107)

LRFD load combinations 6 and 7 (0.9D + 1.0W; 0.9D + 1.0E) account for the possibility of wind load and earthquake load counteracting each other.

Solve for C2: 15.5 mL     x      2.00 M        =        150. mL       X          C2

The first nine editions of the Steel Construction Manual and the accompanying specification were based on _______?

Calculate [45.3 – 25.2].  You may use your calculator.

A beam is part of the framing system for the floor of an office building. The floor is subjected to both dead loads and live loads. The maximum moment caused by the service dead load is 44 ft-kips, and the maximum moment for the service live load is 48 ft-kips (these moments occur at the same location on the beam and can therefore be combined). If ASD is used, what is the required nominal strength of the beam for a safety factor Ω of 1.50?

Which manufacturing process produces the largest category of standard cross-sectional shapes?

A tension member must be designed for a service dead load of 49 kips and a service live load of 5 kips. If LRFD is used, determine the maximum factored load (required strength), Ru.
