AISC Table 6-1

AISC Table 6-1

AISC Table 6-1

(OP)
Design most efficient W10 Section for following loads.
P(r)=100 Kips
M(rx) = 50 kip ft

K L(x)= 21.6 ft.
KL(y) = 8.13 ft.

Trying to guess-timate a section to begin calcs

We know that p= 1.67/P(n)
And b(x) = (8*1.67)/(9*M(nx)

However having difficult time manipulating values to enter the Table without wasting much time on wrong trial sections.  Help much appreciated.  

Thanks

RE: AISC Table 6-1

What is this for?  What purpose is the W10?

 

RE: AISC Table 6-1

(OP)
To resist Axial Force and Bending.   

RE: AISC Table 6-1

O.K.; way to much info.

RE: AISC Table 6-1

(OP)
If forget about everything and just consider moment and axial force, how do you select trial section.  

RE: AISC Table 6-1

Well, if it is primarily a column (axial load is the major force) then you could start with finding a column section that is close and then calculate the beam-column interaction (AISC Specification chapter H) to see if it works.

If the bending is more significant, then start with the beam tables and then use Chapter H to check the interaction.

Again - what is the member to be used for?  You are asking for help - how about a little background on it?
 

RE: AISC Table 6-1

Looks like a homework problem.
