A W14x82 of A992 steel is to be investigated for use as a beam-column in an unbraced frame. The length is 15 feet. First-order analyses of the frame were performed for both the sway and nonsway cases. The factored loads and moments corresponding to one of the load combinations to be investigated are given for this member in the following table. Bending is around the strong axis. The effective length factors are Kx = 1.0 for the braced case, Kx = 1.0 for the unbraced case, and Ky = 1.0. The multiplier to account for P-δ effects was determined to be 1.04, and the multiplier to account for P-Δ effects was determined to be 1.30. Using LRFD and Cb = 1.0, determine the value of the AISC interaction equation.Type of analysisPu (kips)Mtop (kip-ft)Mbottom (kip-ft)Nonsway2804017Sway502580

The beam-column of A992 steel is part of a braced frame with L = 15 ft, Pu = 310 kip, Mux = 140 kip-ft. A second-order analysis was performed with factored loads and reduced member stiffnesses to obtain the moments and axial force. Bending is about the strong axis. Considering only the following shapes and values obtained from the AISC procedure for ASD, select the lightest acceptable shape. Let Kx = 1.0, Ky = 1.0, and Cb = 1.0.ShapeValue of AISC interaction equationW12x581.536W12x721.124W12x791.019W12x870.918W12x960.825
