REVIEW OF STEEL DESIGN
BASIC STEEL DESIGN REVIEW:
Compact Sections-
•are symmetrical about the y-y axis
•webs/flanges must have certain width-thickness ratios
(Spec Section - Table B5.1,P.5-36)
•compression flange must be adequately braced
against lateral buckling
•When the theoretical yield stress F’y is equal to or
exceeded by the yielding stress of 65ksi than the
section is compact.

Design Procedure for Bending(using Sx)
1. Determine the Maximum Bending Moment
Given:
Select a beam of Fy=36ksi steel subjected to a
bending moment of 125 kip-ft., having its compression
flange braced at 6 ft. intervals.
Solution:
Assume compact section, Fb=0.66Fy=23.8ksi
Given:
Select a beam of Fy=36ksi steel subjected to a
bending moment of 125 kip-ft., having its compression
flange braced at 6 ft. intervals.
Solution contd:
Fb Fy [0.79 0.002(b f / 2t f ) Fy
if shape has non compact flanges
Given:
Select a beam of Fy=36ksi steel subjected to a
bending moment of 125 kip-ft., having its compression
flange braced at 6 ft. intervals.
Solution:
Assume compact section, Fb=0.66Fy=23.8ksi
Given:
Select a beam of Fy=36ksi steel subjected to a
bending moment of 125 kip-ft., having its compression
flange braced at 6 ft. intervals.
