Answer:

The answer is "828.75"

Explanation:

Please find the correct question:

For W21x93 BEAM,

$Z_x = 221.00 in^3 \\\\\to \frac{b_t}{2t_f} =4.53\\\\\to \frac{h}{t_w}=32.3$

For A992 STREL,

$F_y= 50\ ks$

Check for complete section:

$\to \frac{b_t}{2t_f} =4.53 < \frac{65}{\sqrt{f_y = 9.19}}\\\\\to \frac{h}{t_w} =32.3 < \frac{640}{\sqrt{f_y = 90.5}}$

Design the strength of beam = $\phi_b Z_x F_y\\\\$

$=0.9 \times 221 \times 50\\\\=9945 \ in \ \ kips\\\\=\frac{9945}{12}\\\\= 828.75 \ft \ kips \\$
