Design the beam and column system shown in the figure below(NOTE: The support conditions are not realistic and are only usedfor class purpose to simplify structural analysis and designprocess). Check for flexure, shear and deflection in beam. Wheneveryou use code, please also report the page number that you referredto and the values that you are looking into. Units should bementioned wherever applicable. All intermediate steps should beshown.
x=5.15 , Use steel with Fy = 50 ksi. Allowable deflection is1/360 of the span of the beam. Assume that the sections W 21 x 62are available to you for no cost. Assume the cost of steel for anyother sections = $ 4.2/lb. (finished). In case you do not find arelevant constant for a loading condition (Cb, Cv or C1), use theconstant that corresponds to the worst case scenario. (NOTE: Theonly intent of this instruction is to simplify the problem.Calculated values of the constants MUST be used in real design.)Please calculate, i) Minimum cost of the beam system (when W 21 x62 is free) ii) Most economic cost of the beam system if thesections W 21 x 62 were not freely available iii) Most economicalcost of column system.
