Chapter 13 Problem 13-90

Question

The beam and column arrangement is used in a railroad yard for loading and unloading cars. If the maximum anticipated hoist load is 12 kip, determine if the \(\mathrm{W}8 \times 31\) wide-lange A-36 steel column is adequate for supporting the load. The hoist travels along the bottom lange of the beam, \(1\mathrm{\ ft}\le x\le25\ \mathrm{ft}\), and has negligible size. Assume the beam is pinned to the column at B and pin supported at A. The column is also pinned at C and it is braced so it will not buckle out of the plane of the loading.

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 13 problem number 90 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The beam and column arrangement is used in a railroad yard for loading and unloading cars. If the maximum anticipated hoist load is 12 kip, determine if the \(\mathrm{W}8 \times 31\) wide-lange A-36 steel column is adequate for supporting the load. The hoist travels along the bottom lange of the beam, \(1\mathrm{\ ft}\le x\le25\ \mathrm{ft}\), and has negligible size. Assume the beam is pinned to the column at B and pin supported at A. The column is also pinned at C and it is braced so it will not buckle out of the plane of the loading.
From the textbook chapter Buckling of Columns you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
