PREFACE The primary objective of these design examples is to provide illustrations of the use of the 2010 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (ANSI/AISC 360-10) and the 14th Edition of the AISC Steel Construction Manual. The design examples provide coverage of all applicable limit states whether or not a particular limit state controls the design of the member or connection. In addition to the examples which demonstrate the use of the Manual tables, design examples are provided for connection designs beyond the scope of the tables in the Manual. These design examples are intended to demonstrate an approach to the design, and are not intended to suggest that the approach presented is the only approach. The committee responsible for the development of these design examples recognizes that designers have alternate approaches that work best for them and their projects. Design approaches that differ from those presented in these examples are considered viable as long as the Specification, sound engineering, and project specific requirements are satisfied. Part I of these examples is organized to correspond with the organization of the Specification. The Chapter titles match the corresponding chapters in the Specification. Part II is devoted primarily to connection examples that draw on the tables from the Manual, recommended design procedures, and the breadth of the Specification. The chapters of Part II are labeled II-A, II-B, II-C, etc. Part III addresses aspects of design that are linked to the performance of a building as a whole. This includes coverage of lateral stability and second order analysis, illustrated through a four-story braced-frame and momentframe building. The Design Examples are arranged with LRFD and ASD designs presented side by side, for consistency with the AISC Manual. Design with ASD and LRFD are based on the same nominal strength for each element so that the only differences between the approaches are which set of load combinations from ASCE/SEI 7-10 are used for design and whether the resistance factor for LRFD or the safety factor for ASD is used. CONVENTIONS The following conventions are used throughout these examples: 1.
The 2010 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings is referred to as the AISC Specification and the 14th Edition AISC Steel Construction Manual, is referred to as the AISC Manual.
2.
The source of equations or tabulated values taken from the AISC Specification or AISC Manual is noted along the right-hand edge of the page.
3.
When the design process differs between LRFD and ASD, the designs equations are presented side-by-side. This rarely occurs, except when the resistance factor, φ, and the safety factor, Ω, are applied.
4.
The results of design equations are presented to three significant figures throughout these calculations.

From AISC Manual Table 15-2b, with an assumed b = (4.00 in. – 2 in.)/2 = 1.75 in., the flange thickness, t = tf, of the WT hanger should be approximately s in. The minimum depth WT that can be used is equal to the sum of the weld length plus the weld size plus the kdimension for the selected section. From AISC Manual Table 1-8 with an assumed b = 1.75 in., t f ≈ s in., and d min = 4 in. + 4 in. + k ≈ 6 in., appropriate selections include: WT6×25 WT7×26.5 WT8×25 WT9×27.5

Design of Selected Members and Lateral Analysis of a Four-Story Building
INTRODUCTION This section illustrates the load determination and selection of representative members that are part of the gravity and lateral frame of a typical four-story building. The design is completed in accordance with the 2010 AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings and the 14th Edition AISC Steel Construction Manual. Loading criteria are based on ASCE/SEI 7-10 (ASCE, 2010). This section includes: • Analysis and design of a typical steel frame for gravity loads • Analysis and design of a typical steel frame for lateral loads • Examples illustrating three methods for satisfying the stability provisions of AISC Specification Chapter C The building being analyzed in this design example is located in a Midwestern city with moderate wind and seismic loads. The loads are given in the description of the design example. All members are ASTM A992 steel. CONVENTIONS The following conventions are used throughout this example: 1.
Beams or columns that have similar, but not necessarily identical, loads are grouped together. This is done because such grouping is generally a more economical practice for design, fabrication and erection.
2.
Certain calculations, such as design loads for snow drift, which might typically be determined using a spreadsheet or structural analysis program, are summarized and then incorporated into the analysis. This simplifying feature allows the design example to illustrate concepts relevant to the member selection process.
3.
Two commonly used deflection calculations, for uniform loads, have been rearranged so that the conventional units in the problem can be directly inserted into the equation for steel design. They are as follows: Simple Beam:

III-4 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDING Geometry The design example is a four-story building, comprised of seven bays at 30 ft in the East-West (numbered grids) direction and bays of 45 ft, 30 ft and 45 ft in the North-South (lettered grids) direction. The floor-to-floor height for the four floors is 13 ft 6 in. and the height from the fourth floor to the roof (at the edge of the building) is 14 ft 6 in. Based on discussions with fabricators, the same column size will be used for the whole height of the building.
Basic Building Layout The plans of these floors and the roof are shown on Sheets S2.1 thru S2.3, found at the end of this Chapter. The exterior of the building is a ribbon window system with brick spandrels supported and back-braced with steel and infilled with metal studs. The spandrel wall extends 2 ft above the elevation of the edge of the roof. The window and spandrel system is shown on design drawing Sheet S4.1. The roof system is 12-in. metal deck on bar joists. These bar joists are supported on steel beams as shown on Sheet S2.3. The roof slopes to interior drains. The middle 3 bays have a 6 ft tall screen wall around them and house the mechanical equipment and the elevator over run. This area has steel beams, in place of steel bar joists, to support the mechanical equipment. The three elevated floors have 3 in. of normal weight concrete over 3-in. composite deck for a total slab thickness of 6 in. The supporting beams are spaced at 10 ft on center. These beams are carried by composite girders in the East-West direction to the columns. There is a 30 ft by 29 ft opening in the second floor, to create a two-story atrium at the entrance. These floor layouts are shown on Sheets S2.1 and S2.2. The first floor is a slab on grade and the foundation consists of conventional spread footings. The building includes both moment frames and braced frames for lateral resistance. The lateral system in the North-South direction consists of chevron braces at the end of the building, located adjacent to the stairways. In

III-5 the East-West direction there are no locations in which chevron braces can be concealed; consequently, the lateral system in the East-West direction is composed of moment frames at the North and South faces of the building. This building is sprinklered and has large open spaces around it, and consequently does not require fireproofing for the floors. Wind Forces The Basic Wind Speed is 90 miles per hour (3 second gust). Because it is sited in an open, rural area, it will be analyzed as Wind Exposure Category C. Because it is an ordinary (Risk Category II) office occupancy, the wind importance factor is 1.0. Seismic Forces The sub-soil has been evaluated and the site class has been determined to be Category D. The area has a short period Ss = 0.121g and a one-second period S1 = 0.060g. The seismic importance factor is 1.0, that of an ordinary office occupancy (Risk Category II). Roof and Floor Loads Roof loads: The ground snow load (pg) is 20 psf. The slope of the roof is 4 in./ft or more at all locations, but not exceeding 2 in./ft; consequently, 5 psf rain-on-snow surcharge is to be considered, but ponding instability design calculations are not required. This roof can be designed as a fully exposed roof, but, per ASCE/SEI 7 Section 7.3, cannot be designed for less than pf = (I)pg = 20 psf uniform snow load. Snow drift will be applied at the edges of the roof and at the screen wall around the mechanical area. The roof live load for this building is 20 psf, but may be reduced per ASCE/SEI 7 Section 4.8 where applicable. Floor Loads: The basic live load for the floor is 50 psf. An additional partition live load of 20 psf is specified. Because the locations of partitions and, consequently, corridors are not known, and will be subject to change, the entire floor will be designed for a live load of 80 psf. This live load will be reduced, based on type of member and area per the ASCE provisions for live-load reduction. Wall Loads: A wall load of 55 psf will be used for the brick spandrels, supporting steel, and metal stud back-up. A wall load of 15 psf will be used for the ribbon window glazing system.

III-6 Snow Load from ASCE/SEI 7 Section 7.3 and 7.10 Snow = 20 psf Rain on Snow = 5 psf Total = 25 psf Note: In this design, the rain and snow load is greater than the roof live load The deck is 1½ in., wide rib, 22 gage, painted roof deck, placed in a pattern of three continuous spans minimum. The typical joist spacing is 6 ft on center. At 6 ft on center, this deck has an allowable total load capacity of 89 psf. The roof diaphragm and roof loads extend 6 in. past the centerline of grid as shown on Sheet S4.1. From Section 7.7 of ASCE/SEI 7, the following drift loads are calculated: Flat roof snow load = 20 psf, Density γ = 16.6 lbs/ft3, hb = 1.20 ft Summary of Drifts
Side Parapet End Parapet Screen Wall
Upwind Roof Length (lu) 121 ft 211 ft 60.5 ft

Max. Drift Load 13.2 psf 13.2 psf 30.5 psf
Max Drift Width (W) 6.36 ft 6.36 ft 7.35 ft
The snow drift at the penthouse was calculated for the maximum effect, using the East-West wind and an upwind fetch from the parapet to the centerline of the columns at the penthouse. This same drift is conservatively used for wind in the North-South direction. The precise location of the drift will depend upon the details of the penthouse construction, but will not affect the final design in this case. SELECT ROOF JOISTS Layout loads and size joists. User Note: Joists may be specified using ASD or LRFD but are most commonly specified by ASD as shown here. The 45-ft side joist with the heaviest loads is shown below along with its end reactions and maximum moment:
Because the load is not uniform, select a 24KCS4 joist from the Steel Joist Institute load tables (SJI, 2005). This joist has an allowable moment of 92.3 kip-ft, an allowable shear of 8.40 kips, a gross moment of inertia of 453 in.4 and weighs 16.6 plf. The first joist away from the end of the building is loaded with snow drift along the length of the member. Based on analysis, a 24KCS4 joist is also acceptable for this uniform load case.

III-7
As an alternative to directly specifying the joist sizes on the design document, as done in this example, loading diagrams can be included on the design documents to allow the joist manufacturer to economically design the joists. The typical 30-ft joist in the middle bay will have a uniform load of w = (20 psf + 25 psf)(6 ft) = 270 plf wSL = (25 psf)(6 ft) = 150 plf From the Steel Joist Institute load tables, select an 18K5 joist which weighs approximately 7.7 plf and satisfies both strength and deflection requirements. Note: the first joist away from the screen wall and the first joist away from the end of the building carry snow drift. Based on analysis, an 18K7 joist will be used in these locations.

Use 40 psf additional dead load, which will account for the mechanical units and the screen wall around the mechanical area. Use 15 psf additional snow load, which will account for any snow drift which could occur in the mechanical area. The beams in the mechanical area are spaced at 6 ft on center. Per AISC Design Guide 3 (West et al., 2003), calculate the minimum Ix to limit deflection to l/360 = 1.00 in. because a plaster ceiling will be used in the lobby area. Use 40 psf as an estimate of the snow load, including some drifting that could occur in this area, for deflection calculations. Note: The beams and supporting girders in this area should be rechecked when the final weights and locations for the mechanical units have been determined. Ireq (Live Load) =

SELECT ROOF BEAMS AT THE END (EAST & WEST) OF THE BUILDING
The beams at the ends of the building carry the brick spandrel panel and a small portion of roof load. For these beams, the cladding weight exceeds 25% of the total dead load on the beam. Therefore, per AISC Design Guide 3, limit the vertical deflection due to cladding and initial dead load to L/600 or a in. maximum. In addition, because these beams are supporting brick above and there is continuous glass below, limit the superimposed dead and live load deflection to L/600 or 0.3 in. max to accommodate the brick and L/360 or 4 in. max to accommodate the glass. Therefore, combining the two limitations, limit the superimposed dead and live load deflection to L/600 or 4 in. The superimposed dead load includes all of the dead load that is applied after the cladding has been installed. In calculating the wall loads, the spandrel panel weight is taken as 55 psf. The spandrel panel weight is approximately: wD = 7.50 ft(0.055 kip/ft2) = 0.413 kip/ft
The dead load from the roof is equal to: wD = 3.50 ft(0.020 kip/ft2) = 0.070 kip/ft
Use 8 psf for the initial dead load. wD(initial) = 3.50 ft(0.008 kip/ft2) = 0.0280 kip/ft
Use 12 psf for the superimposed dead load. wD(super) = 3.50 ft(0.012 kip/ft2) = 0.0420 kip/ft
The snow load from the roof can be conservatively taken as: wS = 3.50 ft(0.025 kip/ft2 + 0.0132 kip/ft2) = 0.134 kip/ft
to account for the maximum snow drift as a uniform load. Assume the beams are simple spans of 22.5 ft. Calculate minimum Ix to limit the superimposed dead and live load deflection to ¼ in. Ireq =

SELECT ROOF BEAMS ALONG THE SIDE (NORTH & SOUTH) OF THE BUILDING
The beams along the side of the building carry the spandrel panel and a substantial roof dead load and live load. For these beams, the cladding weight exceeds 25% of the total dead load on the beam. Therefore, per AISC Design Guide 3, limit the vertical deflection due to cladding and initial dead load to L/600 or a in. maximum. In addition, because these beams are supporting brick above and there is continuous glass below, limit the superimposed dead and live load deflection to L/600 or 0.3 in. max to accommodate the brick and L/360 or 4 in. max to accommodate the glass. Therefore, combining the two limitations, limit the superimposed dead and live load deflection to L/600 or 4 in. The superimposed dead load includes all of the dead load that is applied after the cladding has been installed. These beams will be part of the moment frames on the side of the building and therefore will be designed as fixed at both ends. The roof dead load and snow load on this edge beam is equal to the joist end dead load and snow load reaction. Treating this as a uniform load, divide this by the joist spacing. wD = 2.76 kips/6.00 ft = 0.460 kip/ft wS = 3.73 kips/6.00 ft = 0.622 kip/ft wD(initial) = 23.0 ft (0.008 kip/ft2) = 0.184 kip/ft wD(super) = 23.0 ft (0.012 kip/ft2) = 0.276 kip/ft

Note: The weight of the floor slab and deck was obtained from the manufacturer’s literature. Live Load Total (can be reduced for area per ASCE/SEI 7)

The floor and deck will be 3 in. of normal weight concrete, f c ′ = 4 ksi, on 3-in. 20 gage, galvanized, composite deck, laid in a pattern of three or more continuous spans. The total depth of the slab is 6 in. The Steel Deck Institute maximum unshored span for construction with this deck and a three-span condition is 10 ft 11 in. The general layout for the floor beams is 10 ft on center; therefore, the deck does not need to be shored during construction. At 10 ft on center, this deck has an allowable superimposed live load capacity of 143 psf. In addition, it can be shown that this deck can carry a 2,000 pound load over an area of 2.5 ft by 2.5 ft as required by Section 4.4 of ASCE/SEI 7. The floor diaphragm and the floor loads extend 6 in. past the centerline of grid as shown on Sheet S4.1.

Note: There are two early and important checks in the design of composite beams. First, select a beam that either does not require camber, or establish a target camber and moment of inertia at the start of the design process. A reasonable approximation of the camber is between L/300 minimum and L/180 maximum (or a maximum of 12 to 2 in.). Second, check that the beam is strong enough to safely carry the wet concrete and a 20 psf construction live load (per ASCE 37-05), when designed by the ASCE/SEI 7 load combinations and the provisions of Chapter F of the AISC Specification.

SELECT TYPICAL NORTH-SOUTH EDGE BEAM
The influence area (KLLAT) for these beams is less than 400 ft2, therefore no live load reduction can be taken. These beams carry 5.50 ft of dead load and live load as well as a wall load. The floor dead load is: w = 5.50 ft(0.075 kips/ft2) = 0.413 kip/ft
Use 65 psf for the initial dead load. wD(initial) = 5.50 ft(0.065 kips/ft2) = 0.358 kips/ft
Use 10 psf for the superimposed dead load. wD(super) = 5.50 ft(0.010 kips/ft2) = 0.055 kips/ft
The dead load of the wall system at the floor is: w = 7.50 ft ( 0.055 kip / ft 2 ) + 6.00 ft ( 0.015 kip / ft 2 )
= 0.413 kip/ft + 0.090 kip/ft = 0.503 kip/ft The total dead load is wDL = 0.413 kip/ft + 0.503 kip/ft = 0.916 kip/ft The live load is wLL = 5.5 ft(0.080 kip/ft2) = 0.440 kip/ft The loading diagram is as follows.

Because these beams are less than 25 ft long, they will be most efficient as noncomposite beams. The beams at the edges of the building carry a brick spandrel panel. For these beams, the cladding weight exceeds 25% of the total dead load on the beam. Therefore, per AISC Design Guide 3, limit the vertical deflection due to cladding and initial dead load to L/600 or a in. maximum. In addition, because these beams are supporting brick above and there is continuous glass below, limit the superimposed dead and live load deflection to L/600 or 0.3 in. max to accommodate the brick and L/360 or 0.25 in. max to accommodate the glass. Therefore, combining the two limitations, limit the superimposed dead and live load deflection to L/600 or 0.25 in.

SELECT TYPICAL EAST-WEST SIDE GIRDER
The beams along the sides of the building carry the spandrel panel and glass, and dead load and live load from the intermediate floor beams. For these beams, the cladding weight exceeds 25% of the total dead load on the beam. Therefore, per AISC Design Guide 3, limit the vertical deflection due to cladding and initial dead load to L/600 or a in. maximum. In addition, because these beams are supporting brick above and there is continuous glass below, limit the superimposed dead and live load deflection to L/600 or 0.3 in. max to accommodate the brick and L/360 or 0.25 in. max to accommodate the glass. Therefore, combining the two limitations, limit the superimposed dead and live load deflection to L/600 or 0.25 in. The superimposed dead load includes all of the dead load that is applied after the cladding has been installed. These beams will be part of the moment frames on the North and South sides of the building and therefore will be designed as fixed at both ends. Establish the loading. The dead load reaction from the floor beams is: PD = 0.750 kip/ft(45.0 ft / 2) = 16.9 kips PD(initial) = 0.650 kip/ft(45.0 ft / 2) = 14.6 kips PD(super) = 0.100 kip/ft(45.0 ft / 2) = 2.25 kips
The uniform dead load along the beam is: wD = 0.500 ft(0.075 kip/ft2) + 0.503 kip/ft = 0.541 kip/ft wD(initial) = 0.500 ft(0.065 kip/ft2) = 0.033 kip/ft wD(super) = 0.500 ft(0.010 kip/ft2) = 0.005 kip/ft
Select typical 30-ft composite (or noncomposite) girders. Check for possible live load reduction in accordance with Section 4.7.2 of ASCE/SEI 7. For edge beams with cantilevered slabs, KLL = 1, per ASCE/SEI 7, Table 4-2. However, it is also permissible to calculate the value of KLL based upon influence area. Because the cantilever dimension is small, KLL will be closer to 2 than 1. The calculated value of KLL based upon the influence area is KLL =

Therefore, use a minimum 24 studs for horizontal shear. Per AISC Specification Section I8.2d, the maximum stud spacing is 36 in. Since the load is concentrated at 3 points, the studs are to be arranged as follows: Use 12 studs between supports and supported beams at 3 points. Between supported beams (middle 3 of span), use 4 studs to satisfy minimum spacing requirements. Thus, 28 studs are required in a 12:4:12 arrangement. Notes: Although the studs may be placed up to 3'-0" o.c. the steel deck must still be anchored to be the supporting member at a spacing not to exceed 18 in. in accordance with AISC Specification Section I3.2c. This W21×68 beam, with full lateral support, is very close to having sufficient available strength to support the imposed loads without composite action. A larger noncomposite beam might be a better solution.

III-61 MOMENT FRAME MODEL
Grids 1 and 8 were modeled in conventional structural analysis software as two-dimensional models. The secondorder option in the structural analysis program was not used. Rather, for illustration purposes, second-order effects are calculated separately, using the “Approximate Second-Order Analysis” method described in AISC Specification Appendix 8. The column and beam layouts for the moment frames follow. Although the frames on Grids A and F are the same, slightly heavier seismic loads accumulate on grid F after accounting for the atrium area and accidental torsion. The models are half-building models. The frame was originally modeled with W14×82 interior columns and W21×44 non-composite beams, but was revised because the beams and columns did not meet the strength requirements. The W14×82 column size was increased to a W14×90 and the W21×44 beams were upsized to W24×55 beams. Minimum composite studs are specified for the beams (corresponding to ∑ Qn = 0.25Fy As ), but the beams were modeled with a stiffness of Ieq = Is. The frame was checked for both wind and seismic story drift limits. Based on the results on the computer analysis, the frame meets the L/400 drift criterion for a 10 year wind (0.7W) indicated in Commentary Section CC.1.2 of ASCE/SEI 7. In addition, the frame meets the 0.025hsx allowable story drift limit given in ASCE/SEI 7 Table 12.12-1 for Seismic Risk Category II. All of the vertical loads on the frame were modeled as point loads on the frame. The dead load and live load are shown in the load cases that follow. The wind, seismic, and notional loads from leaning columns are modeled and distributed 1/14 to exterior columns and 1/7 to the interior columns. This approach minimizes the tendency to accumulate too much load in the lateral system nearest an externally applied load. Also shown in the models below are the remainder of the half-building model gravity loads from the interior leaning columns accumulated in a single leaning column which was connected to the frame portion of the model with pinned ended links. Because the second-order analyses that follow will use the “Approximate Second-Order Analysis (amplified first-order) approach given in the AISC Specification Appendix 8, the inclusion of the leaning column is unnecessary, but serves to summarize the leaning column loads and illustrate how these might be handled in a full second-order analysis. See Geschwindner (1994), “A Practical Approach to the ‘Leaning’ Column.” There are five lateral load cases. Two are the wind load and seismic load, per the previous discussion. In addition, notional loads of Ni = 0.002Yi were established. The model layout, nominal dead, live, and snow loads with associated notional loads, wind loads and seismic loads are shown in the figures below. The same modeling procedures were used in the braced frame analysis. If column bases are not fixed in construction, they should not be fixed in the analysis.

III-67 CALCULATION OF REQUIRED STRENGTH—THREE METHODS
Three methods for checking one of the typical interior column designs at the base of the building are presented below. All three of presented methods require a second-order analysis (either direct via computer analysis techniques or by amplifying a first-order analysis). A fourth method called the “First-Order Analysis Method” is also an option. This method does not require a second-order analysis; however, this method is not presented below. For additional guidance on applying any of these methods, see the discussion in AISC Manual Part 2 titled Required Strength, Stability, Effective Length, and Second-Order Effects. GENERAL INFORMATION FOR ALL THREE METHODS
Seismic load combinations controlled over wind load combinations in the direction of the moment frames in the example building. The frame analysis was run for all LRFD and ASD load combinations; however, only the controlling combinations have been illustrated in the following examples. A lateral load of 0.2% of gravity load was included for all gravity-only load combinations. The second-order analysis for all the examples below was carried out by doing a first-order analysis and then amplifying the results to achieve a set of second-order design forces using the approximate second-order analysis procedure from AISC Specification Appendix 8. METHOD 1. DIRECT ANALYSIS METHOD
Design for stability by the direct analysis method is found in Chapter C of the AISC Specification. This method requires that both the flexural and axial stiffness are reduced and that 0.2% notional lateral loads are applied in the analysis to account for geometric imperfections and inelasticity. Any general second-order analysis method that considers both P − δ and P − Δ effects is permitted. The amplified first-order analysis method of AISC Specification Appendix 8 is also permitted provided that the B1 and B2 factors are based on the reduced flexural and axial stiffnesses. A summary of the axial loads, moments and 1st floor drifts from first-order analysis is shown below. The floor diaphragm deflection in the east-west direction was previously determined to be very small and will thus be neglected in these calculations. Second-order member forces are determined using the amplified first-order procedure of AISC Specification Appendix 8. It was assumed, subject to verification, that B2 is less than 1.7 for each load combination; therefore, per AISC Specification Section C2.2b(4), the notional loads were applied to the gravity-only load combinations . The required seismic load combinations are given in ASCE/SEI 7, Section 12.4.2.3. LRFD

For Interior Column Design: Pu = 317 kips M1u = 148 kip-ft (from first-order analysis) M2u = 233 kip-ft (from first-order analysis)
For Interior Column Design: Pa = 295 kips M1a = 77.9 kip-ft M2a = 122 kip-ft
First story drift with reduced stiffnesses = 0.718 in.
First story drift with reduced stiffnesses = 0.377 in.
Note: For ASD, ordinarily the second-order analysis must be carried out under 1.6 times the ASD load combinations and the results must be divided by 1.6 to obtain the required strengths. For this example, secondorder analysis by the amplified first-order analysis method is used. The amplified first-order analysis method incorporates the 1.6 multiplier directly in the B1 and B2 amplifiers, such that no other modification is needed. The required second-order flexural strength, Mr, and axial strength, Pr, are determined as follows. For typical Design Examples V14.0 AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF STEEL CONSTRUCTION

METHOD 2. EFFECTIVE LENGTH METHOD
Required strengths of frame members must be determined from a second-order analysis. In this example the second-order analysis is performed by amplifying the axial forces and moments in members and connections from a first-order analysis using the provisions of AISC Specification Appendix 8. The available strengths of compression members are calculated using effective length factors computed from a sidesway stability analysis. A first-order frame analysis is conducted using the load combinations for LRFD or ASD. A minimum lateral load (notional load) equal to 0.2% of the gravity loads is included for any gravity-only load combination. The required load combinations are given in ASCE/SEI 7 and are summarized in Part 2 of the AISC Manual. A summary of the axial loads, moments and 1st floor drifts from the first-order computer analysis is shown below. The floor diaphragm deflection in the east-west direction was previously determined to be very small and will thus be neglected in these calculations. LRFD

First-order first story drift = 0.575 in.
First-order first story drift = 0.302 in.
The required second-order flexural strength, Mr, and axial strength, Pr, are calculated as follows: For typical interior columns, the gravity load moments are approximately balanced; therefore, Mnt = 0.0 kips. LRFD

Second-order analysis by amplified first-order analysis In the following, the approximate second-order analysis method from AISC Specification Appendix 8 is used to account for second-order effects in the braced frames by amplifying the axial forces in members and connections from a first-order analysis. A first-order frame analysis is conducted using the load combinations for LRFD and ASD. From this analysis the critical axial loads, moments and deflections are obtained. A summary of the axial loads and 1st floor drifts from the first-order computer analysis is shown below. The floor diaphragm deflection in the north-south direction was previously determined to be very small and will thus be neglected in these calculations. LRFD

III-84 ANALYSIS OF DRAG STRUTS
The fourth floor delivers the highest diaphragm force to the braced frames at the ends of the building: E = 80.3 kips (from previous calculations). This force is transferred to the braced frame through axial loading of the W18×35 beams at the end of the building. The gravity dead loads for the edge beams are the floor loading of 75.0 psf (5.50 ft) plus the exterior wall loading of 0.503 kip/ft, giving a total dead load of 0.916 kip/ft. The gravity live load for these beams is the floor loading of 80.0 psf (5.50 ft) = 0.440 kip/ft. The resulting midspan moments are MDead = 58.0 kip-ft and MLive = 27.8 kip-ft. The controlling load combination for LRFD is 1.23D + 1.0QE + 0.50L. The controlling load combinations for ASD are 1.01D + 0.75L + 0.75(0.7QE) or 1.02D + 0.7QE LRFD
ASD
Mu = 1.23(58.0 kip-ft) + 0.50(27.8 kip-ft) = 85.2 kip-ft
Ma = 1.01(58.0 kip-ft) + 0.75(27.8 kip-ft) = 79.4 kip-ft or Ma = 1.02(58.0 kip-ft) = 59.2 kip-ft

Note: It is often possible to resist the drag strut force using the slab directly. For illustration purposes, this solution will instead use the beam to resist the force independently of the slab. The full cross section can be used to resist the force if the member is designed as a column braced at one flange only (plus any other intermediate bracing present, such as from filler beams). Alternatively, a reduced cross section consisting of the top flange plus a portion of the web can be used. Arbitrarily use the top flange and 8 times an area of the web equal to its thickness times a depth equal to its thickness, as an area to carry the drag strut component. Area = 6.00 in.(0.425 in.) + 8(0.300 in.)2 = 2.55 in.2 + 0.720 in.2 = 3.27 in.2 Ignoring the small segment of the beam between Grid C and D, the axial stress due to the drag strut force is: LRFD

DESIGN TABLE DISCUSSION Table 4-1. W-Shapes in Axial Compression, 65 ksi steel Available strengths in axial compression are given for W-shapes with Fy = 65 ksi (ASTM A913 Grade 65). The tabulated values are given for the effective length with respect to the y-axis (KL)y. However, the effective length with respect to the x-axis (KL)x must also be investigated. To determine the available strength in axial compression, the table should be entered at the larger of (KL)y and (KL)y eq, where ( KL ) ( KL ) y eq = r x (4-1) x ry The available strength is based on the limit states of flexural buckling, torsional buckling, and flexuralKL = 99.5 with Fy = 65 ksi. torsional buckling. The limit between elastic and inelastic buckling is r The slenderness limit between a nonslender web and a slender web is λrw = 31.5 with Fy = 65 ksi. All current ASTM A6 W-shapes have nonslender flanges with Fy = 65 ksi. Values of the ratio rx/ry and other properties useful in the design of W-shape compression members are listed at the bottom of Table 4-1. Variables Pwo, Pwi, Pwb and Pfb shown in Table 4-1 can be used to determine the strength of W-shapes without stiffeners to resist concentrated forces applied normal to the face(s) of the flange(s). In these tables it is assumed that the concentrated forces act far enough away from the member ends that end effects are not considered (end effects are addressed in Chapter 9). When Pr ≤ φRn or Rn/Ω, column web stiffeners are not required. Figures 4-1, 4-2 and 4-3 illustrate the limit states and the applicable variables for each. Web Local Yielding: The variables Pwo and Pwi can be used in the calculation of the available web local yielding strength for the column as follows: LRFD φRn = Pwo + Pwi lb

DESIGN TABLE DISCUSSION Table 6-1. W-Shapes in Combined Flexure and Axial Force, 65 ksi Steel W-shapes with Fy = 65 ksi (ASTM A913 Grade 65) and subject to combined axial force (tension or compression) and flexure may be checked for compliance with the provisions of Section H1.1 and H1.2 of the AISC Specification using values listed in Table 6-1 and the appropriate interaction equations provided in the following sections. Values p, bx, by, ty and tr presented in Table 6-1 are defined as follows. LRFD

The designer may check acceptability of a given shape using the appropriate interaction equation from above along with variables tr, ty, bx and by. See Aminmansour (2006) for more information on this method. It is noted that the values for tr listed in Table 6-1 are based on the assumption that Ae = 0.75Ag. See Part 5 for more information on this assumption. When Ae > 0.75Ag, the tabulated values for tr are conservative. When Ae < 0.75Ag, tr must be calculated based upon the actual value of Ae.
General Considerations for Use of Values Listed in Table 6-1 The following remarks are offered for consideration in use of the values listed in Table 6-1. 1. Values of p, bx and by already account for section compactness and can be used directly. 2. Tabulated values of bx assumed Cb = 1.0. A procedure for determining bx when Cb > 1.0 follows. 3. Given that the limit state of lateral-torsional buckling does not apply to W-shapes bent about their weak axis, values of by are independent of unbraced length and Cb. 4. Values of bx equally apply to combined flexure and compression as well as combined flexure and tension. 5. Smaller values of variable p for a given KL and smaller values of bx for a given Lb indicate higher strength for the type of load in question. For example, a section with a smaller p at a certain KL is more effective in carrying axial compression than another section with a larger value of p at the same KL. Similarly, a section with a smaller bx is more effective for flexure at a given Lb than another section with a larger bx for the same Lb. This information may be used to select more efficient shapes when relatively large amounts of axial load or bending are present.
Determination of bx when Cb > 1.0
The tabulated values of bx assume that Cb = 1.0. These values may be modified in accordance with AISC Specification Sections F1 and H1.2. The following procedure may be used to account for Cb > 1.0. bx (Cb =1.0) ≥ bxmin bx (Cb >1.0) = (6-5) Cb Values of bxmin are listed in Table 6-1 at Lb = 0 ft. See Aminmansour (2009) for more information on this method. Values for p, bx, by, ty and tr presented in Table 6-1 have been multiplied by 103. Thus, when used in the appropriate interaction equation they must be multiplied by 10-3 (0.001).
