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

Why did Los Angeles’s population increase significantly during the 1920s? 

A tee shape made from A913 Grade 65 steel is fabricated from two plates of steel. The flange plate is 0.375 in. × 16 in., and the stem plate is 0.625 in. × 8 in. Determine whether the shape is compact, noncompact or slender.

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.

  What resulted from the Pentagon Papers’ release?

Determine the magnitude of the largest shear force (consider both positive and negative peaks). Use a = 23 ft, b = 8 ft, and w = 6 kips/ft. The reaction forces for this beam are Ay = 60.65 kips and By = 125.35 kips.

The Teapot Dome scandal involved 

Using ASD, determine the nominal flexural strength of a W18x46 beam made from A992 steel that has lateral support at 2-ft intervals. Assume Cb = 1.0.

Determine the maximum deflection for a W14x342 beam made of A913 Grade 65 steel. Let w = 340 lb/ft and L = 15 ft. Ignore the weight of the beam.

A W6x20 made of A572 Grade 42 steel is subjected to a maximum bending moment of 27 kip-ft about its x-axis. Determine the maximum magnitude of bending stress in the beam.
