Non-compact sections

Compared to compact structural steel sections, allowable bending stress that can be used for sections that are identified as non-compact
A. must be higher, B. must be reduced
C. the same, D. always 10% less
E. typically 10% greater

B. must be reduced. W21x48, W14x99, W12x65, W10x12, W8x31, W8x10, W6x15, W6x9, W6x8.5, and M4x6 are examples of the limited number of shapes identified as non-compact, determined by web/flange width to thickness ratios and yield strength.

Calculate Luminance

A typical 60-watt standard frosted incandescent bulb outputs 890 lumens for an efficacy ratio of about 15 lumens per watt. As an A19, its shape is spherical. What is the its calculated luminance? A. 25,115 cd/in² B. 25.115 cd/ft² C. 25,115 cd/m² D. Indeterminate, missing variable. Answer If 1 candela (cd) = 4 ∏ lumens (lm), 890 x 1cd/4∏ = 71 cd, A19 = 19/8 = 2.375 in or 60mm diameter (= 30mm radius), L = intensity / projected area, 71 cd / ∏ r² = 71/ 3.14 x (.03m)² = 25,115 cd/m² ARE 4.0 exam prep: BS
