allowable stress of steel bars
(OP)
I have a simple beam made of a 3/4" x 5.5" steel bar. How should I determine Fb?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: allowable stress of steel bars
Lambda = 2.8 x [(length x depth / thickness ^ 2}] ^ 0.5
Knowing lambda and the material design stress, pb can be read off the relevant table in the code.
In your case the depth is 5.5 and the thickness is 0.75.

If you have access to Mathcad 2000 you have at its Collaboratory site posted worksheets of free download that will make the calculation for you.
