Steel Design: Problems & Applications

A steel design task document provides instructions and problems to solve regarding steel structures. Problem 1 involves determining the maximum tensile stress and normal strain in a suspended W8x67 beam. Problem 2 involves calculating the change in length and force in a member given its strain. Students are instructed to solve additional problems from the textbook and to evaluate three lateral force resisting methods for seismic loads by outlining the advantages and disadvantages of each.
