THE BEAM LOCAL BUCKLING LIMITATION (CBC 2213A.7.3)

bf / (2tf ) = 6.89 < 52 / (Fy)0.5 = 7.35 [Satisfactory]

THE BEAM BRACING LIMITATION (CBC 2213A.7.8)

Smax = 96ry = 17.17 ft
Hence, both flanges of beam shall be braced at maximum spacing 17.17 ft.

THE COLUMN LOCAL BUCKLING LIMITATION (CBC 2213A.7.3 & ASD N7, Pg 5-96)
bf / (2tf ) = 5.97 < 7.00 [Satisfactory]

THE ALLOWABLE COLUMN DESIGN LOADS (CBC 1612A.3.1, 2213A.8.2, & 2213A.8.4.1)
Pt = 0.9D - (rEh + 0.5CaID) / 1.4 = 76 kips (Compression)
Pc = D + 0.75[L + (rEh + 0.5CaID) / 1.4] = 188 kips (Compression, Governs)
Pc = D + (rEh + 0.5CaID) / 1.4 = 138 kips (Compression)

THE BEAM - COLUMN RATIO REQUIREMENT (CBC2213A.7.5)

SMpc* / (SMpb* ) = 1.64 > 1.00 [Satisfactory]
( > 1.25 The column flanges need to be laterally supported only at the beam top flange.
Where SMpc* = SZc (Fyc - Pc / Ag ) = 2473 ft-kips CBC 2213A.7.7.1)
SMpb* = S(Mpr + Mv) = 1505 ft-kips
Mv = [2Mpr /(L-2Sh)+wg(L-2Sh)/2] Sh= 272 ft-kips
Mpr = b Fyb zb = 1233 ft-kips

zb = Zb - 2c tf (d - tf) = 247 in
b= 1.2 (FEMA Sec. 7.5.2.2)

THE BENDING MOMENT AT THE COLUMN FACE (CBC2213A.4.2)

Mf = Mpr + [2Mpr / (L - 2Sh) + wg(L - 2Sh)/2] (a + b/2)
= 1424 ft-kips < Fyb Zb = 1442 ft-kips [Satisfactory]
 (Cont'd)

THE COLUMN DESIGN LOADS (CBC 2213A.5.1)

Pt = 0.85D - W0Eh = 81 kips (Compression)
Pc = D + 0.7L + W0Eh = 181 kips (Compression, Governs)
Where W0 = 2.8 (CBC Tab. 16A-N)

THE COLUMN COMPRESSION CAPACITY (CBC 2213A.4.2 & ASD E2)

Pc,allow = 1.7FaA = 1890.6 kips > Pc [Satisfactory]
Where K = 1.0
Es = 29000 ksi (1-F2/2)Fy / (5/3+3F/8-F3/8) = 21.47 kis, for Cc > (Kl/r)

Fa = { 12p2Es/[23(Kl/r)2] = N/A kis, for Cc < (Kl/r)
MAX(Klx/rx, Kly/ry) = 67.10 < 200 [Satisfactory]
F = (K l / r) / Cc = 0.63

THE CONTINUITY PLATE REQUIREMENT (FEMA Sec. 3.3.3.1 & CBC 2213A.7.4)
tst = tbf for interior connection, or (tbf /2) for exterior connection = 0.76 in,USE 0.81 in, ( 13/16 in )
bst = 7 in > bfb /3 - twc /2 = 3.08 in, (ASD Sec. K1.8) [Satisfactory]
Ast = [Pbf - Fyc twc(tfb + 5kc)] / Fyst = -7.498 in2, (ASD K1-9) < tst bst [Satisfactory]

The best fillet weld size (ASD Sec.J2.2b)

[Satisfactory]
The required weld length between A36 continuity plates and column web (FEMA Fig 3-6)
Lw = Pbf / [(2) 1.7 (0.3Fu )(0.707 w)] = 71.6 / [(2) 1.7 (0.3x70)(0.707x1/2)] = 2.14 in
< 2(Lnet) [Satisfactory]
Where Lnet = dc - 2(kc) = 11.2
(Use complete joint penetration groove welds between continuity plates & column flanges.)

THE PANEL ZONE THICKNESS REQUIREMENT (CBC 2213A.7.2)

tReqD = MAX (t1, t2) = 1.59 in
t1 = Vz / (0.55Fycdc) - 3bfctfc2 / (dcdb) = 1.59 in, (CBC 13A-1)
Where Vz = 2(0.8) SMf / (db - tfb/2) - 2(0.8)Mf / h = 738.7 kips
(SEAOC Design Manual, Vol. III, Pg 182)
t2 = (dz + wz ) / 90 = (db -2tst + dc - 2kc) / 90 = 0.44 in

Since twc = 0.55 in < tReqD , a doubler plate is

required with thickness of 1-1/16 in.
