1. Calculate the moment strength for a W36×302 wide-flange section. Assume A992 steel. Consider only strong-axis bending.
2. Calculate the allowable bending moment for a solid rectangular 6-in.-by-16-in. timber beam if the allowable bending stress is 1000 psi. Assume that the large dimension is vertical and parallel to the applied loads
(a) Use nominal dimensions.
(b) Use dressed dimensions.
