Compute the LRFD moment amplification factor B1 for the W18x65 made from ASTM A992 steel with L = 15 ft, P = 220 kip, M = 230 kip-ft, and Kx = Ky = 1.0. Bending is about the x axis. The member is part of a braced frame, and the given service loads are 30% dead load and 70% live load. The frame analysis was performed consistent with the effective length method, so the flexural rigidity was unreduced.

Compute the ASD moment amplification factor B1 for the W10x88 made from ASTM A992 steel with L = 16 ft, P = 200 kip, M = 200 kip-ft, and Kx = Ky = 1.0. Bending is about the x axis. The member is part of a braced frame, and the given service loads are 50% dead load and 50% live load. The frame analysis was performed using the requirements for the approximate second-order analysis method meaning that a reduced stiffness was used.
