Question by CMiniPURDUE: A steel building is 136 m tall when the outside temperature is 0degrees C. How tall is the building on a hot s?
A steel building is 136 m tall when the outside temperature is 0degrees C. How tall is the building on a hot summer day (34degrees C)? The change in height is small, so express your answer with 3 decimal places.
hmmm..that answer was not right…in my book it uses 12E-6…and I used the same formula you used it it was incorrect…it’s an online hw

Answer by linlyons
http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/linear-expansion-coefficients-d_95.html which steel?

Steel 13.0 7.3
Steel Stainless Austenitic (304) 17.3 9.6
Steel Stainless Austenitic (310) 14.4 8.0
Steel Stainless Austenitic (316) 16.0 8.9 <=== use this one.
Steel Stainless Ferritic (410) 9.9 5.5

136*34*16*10^-6 = 136.074 m high.

Edit: using 12E-6

136+136*34*12*10^-6 = 136.055488 m high.

Does a W14x311 steel beam for a 5 story building sound right?

steel building

Question by cs10: Does a W14x311 steel beam for a 5 tale building sound right?
Im trying to design a 5 tale steel frame building for a project at school and I am using SAP 2000 v.11 to help me with the steel design. And SAP seems to prefer a W14x311 for all my beams, columns, braces and secondary beams. I need help!

Best answer:

Answer by tinkertailorcandlestickmaker
Sounds like something is very incorrect, 311 pounds per foot for a secondary beam sounds kind of huge, and it makes small sence for every thing to be the same size, perhaps the data base of available shapes is hurt? (I’m not familiar with the software you are using so I’m guessing there)
Also, the 9th edition of ASD says that that shape would be “generally contemplated for for application as columns or compression components”
if a horizontal member is that heavy you really should consider a deeper section.

Best answer:

Answer by tinkertailorcandlestickmaker
First, it may well depend on the local codes, and you don’t say where you are. There will be restrictions on lapped splices in columns, mechanical splices my be needed.
Second, if you are going to be designing things where life safety is involved, you really should do your own homework.
