W16x31 Steel Beam Analysis
Span: 20 ft
Section: W16x31
Load Combinations (ASCE 7-22)
LC1: 1.4D4.20 kips
LC2: 1.2D + 1.6L7.80 kips
Flexural Strength Check (AISC 360-22 Section F2)
Nominal Moment Strength:
Mn = Fy × Zx
Mn = 50 ksi × 54.0 in³ = 2,700 kip-in = 225 kip-ft
Design Strength:
φbMn = 0.90 × 225 kip-ft = 202.5 kip-ft
Demand/Capacity Ratio:
Mu/φbMn = 39.0/202.5 = 0.19 ✓ OK
✓ Design Adequate - All Checks Pass
