Solution:
HREQD = 5000 / 30

TRY

LC 175 X 50 X 20 X 4.5

Properties:
WT

= 9.81 KG/M

= 4.50 MM

= 175 MM

SX

= 30 X 103 MM3

= 50 MM

SY

= 5.5 X 103 MM3

Solution:
Dead load
Wn = 120 ( 0.80 )( cos 11.77o ) + 96.24 ( cos 11.77o )
WN = 188.20 N/M
WT = 120 ( 0.80 )( SIN 11.77o ) + 96.24 ( SIN 11.77o )
WT = 39.21 N/M

LIVE LOAD
Wn = 1000 ( 0.80 )( cos 11.77o )
WN = 783.18 N/M

WT = 1000 ( 0.80 )( SIN 11.77o )

WT = 163.19 N/M
WIND LOAD
Wn = 870 ( 0.80 ) = 696 N/M
WT = 0

LOAD COMBINATION:
I.

DL + LL
Wn = 971.38 N/m
Wt = 202.40 N/m

II.

DL + 0.75( LL + WL )
Wn = 1297.59 N/m
Wt = 161.60 N/m

III. DL + WL
Wn = 884.20 n/m
Wt = 188.20

By inspection, case II governs
