    Singly Symmetric Reinforced Steel Beam - Plastic Moment vs Yield Moment

    I have an (E) 50ksi wide flange beam that will be reinforced with a 50ksi 1"x12" cover plate stitch welded to the bottom flange. The beam is in positive bending (top flange in compression, bottom reinforced flange in tension). I want to check the web slenderness. According to attached AISC...

    Torsional Constant of a Reinforced Steel Beam

    I have a 50ksi wide flange beam that I'm reinforcing with a 50ksi WT (welding the stem to the bottom flange of the wide flange). I'm trying to check the LTB limit state of the member per AISC 360-16 Section F4.2, but am having trouble figuring out how to calculate the torsional constant, J. I...
