Explain why there is one value of ‘by’ for each W-shape in Table 6-1.
‘by’ captures the weak-axis flexural member capacity, which
is independent of unbraced length, Lb, since lateral torsional
buckling does not occur for bending about y-axis

Would use of Table 6-1 values (unmodified) to
size these beam-columns likely be
somewhat conservative and why or why not?
Yes; the table is based on Cb=1.0, and these beam-columns are subject to
reverse curvature, and Cb could be > 2.0

Why are lp and lr different for webs of beams as opposed to flanges of
beams?
These are limits for local buckling, and critical buckling loads depend on
loading conditions (i.e. pure axial compression or flexural compression)
and edge support conditions (i.e., stiffened or unstiffened)
