Although suburban communities were segregated in the 1950s, today, communities such as Levittown on Long Island are completely racially integrated. 

Using ASD, determine the nominal flexural strength of a W14x53 beam made from A992 steel that has lateral support at 3-ft intervals. Assume Cb = 1.0.

While preparing for Brown v. Board of Education, Thurgood Marshall decided that the time had come to attack the “separate but equal” doctrine itself. 

A W8x31 beam made from A992 steel would be classified as _______.

The National Organization for Women (NOW) campaigned for which of the following? 

Holes should only be placed in a beam web at sections of _______ .

President Harding’s call for a “return to normalcy” meant

Determine the maximum deflection for a W14x61 beam made of A572 Grade 42 steel. Let P = 5,700 lb and L = 20 ft. Ignore the weight of the beam.

Determine the nominal shear strength of a W14x90 of A913 Grade 65 steel.

Determine the magnitude of the largest shear force (consider both positive and negative peaks). Use a = 23 ft, b = 8 ft, and w = 10 kips/ft. The reaction forces for this beam are Ay = 101.10 kips and By = 208.90 kips.
