T.1 Description of the tutorial problem

The structure for this project is a single bay, single story steel portal frame that will be analyzed and designed.

Table 1. Basic Data for the Structure
Attribute	Data
Member properties	Members 1 & 3 : W12X35 Member 2 : W14X34
Material Constants	Modulus of Elasticity : 29,000 ksi Poisson's Ratio : 0.30
Member Offsets	6.0 inches along global X for member 2 at both ends
Supports	Node 1 : Fixed Node 4 : Pinned
Loads	Load case 1 : Dead + Live Beam 2 : 2.5 kips/ft downward along global Y Load case 2 : Wind From Left 10 kips point force at Node 2 Load case 3 : 75 Percent of (DL+LL+WL) Load Combination - L1 X 0.75 + L2 X 0.75
Analysis Type	Linear Elastic (PERFORM)
Steel Design	Consider load cases 1 and 3 only. Parameters: Unsupported length of compression flange for bending : 10 ft for members 2 and 3, 15 ft for member 1. Steel Yield Stress : 50 ksi Perform member selection for members 2 and 3
