The adequacy of the W 6 X12 beam for use as purlin using LRFD method.
Answer to Problem 5.5.16P
The beam is adequate to be used for purlin.
Explanation of Solution
Given:

Calculation:
Let’s calculate the nominal flexural strength about the X and Y axes.
Determine the strong axis bending strength. As neither the beam design charts nor the Z tables include shapes under W8 compute the flexural strength of W 6 X12. As there is no foot note to indicate otherwise the shape is compact.
We need to determine what controls the lateral torsional buckling.
