Safety and Resistance Factors:

Ωc = 2.0 (ASD),
φc = 0.85 (LRFD),
φc = 0.85 (LSD)

Stiffener Requirement:

Nominal Strength, Pn is the Smaller of (a) and (b):

Š (a) Pn = Fwy * Ac
Š Fwy = Lower value of Fy for web and stiffener,
Š Ac = 18*t2 + As, bearing stiffener at interior
support,
Š Ac = 10*t2 + As, bearing stiffener at end
support,

(b) Pn = Fn * Ab

For λc < 1.5; Fn = (0.658^λc2) Fy

For λc > 1.5; Fn = [0.877 / λc2] Fy

λc = √(Fy / Fe)

Fe = π2E / (KL / r)2

Ab = b1*t + As, bearing stiffener at interior

support,
Ab = b2*t + As, bearing stiffener at end
support,

b1 = 25*t*[0.0024*(Lst/t) + 0.72] <= 25*t

b2 = 12*t*[0.0044*(Lst/t) + 0.83] <= 12*t

Check w/t of web stiffener: Fys = 55 ksi

w/t limit = 0.42* (E/Fys)0.5 = 0.42*(29500/55)0.5

w/t = 2.5 / 0.25 = 10

Choice: (1) 10 > 9.73, USE 2.5” BY 0.3125”

(a) Pn = Fwy * Ac

As = 2.43* 0.25 = 0.608 in2

Ac = 18*t2 + As

Ac = 18 * 0.1032 + 0.608 = 0.799 in2

Pn = Fy * Ac = 55 * 0.799 = 43.94 k

b1 = 25*t*[0.0024*(Lst/t) + 0.72] <= 25*t

I = 0.25*2.433/12 + 0.608*(1.215 – 0.871)2 +

0.24*0.8712

r = (I/A)0.5 = (0.5529/0.848)0.5 =0.8075 in.

KL/r = 1.0 * 8 / 0.8075 = 9.91

Fe = π2 * E / (KL/r)2 = π2 * 29500 / (9.91)2 = 2964.7

Use the smaller of (a) and (b), hence Pn = 43.94 k

Pn allowable (ASD) = Pn / Ωc = 43.94 / 2.0 =

21.97 k

Adequacy of bearing stiffener: 21.97 > 5.97

(Reaction) therefore Okay.
