Question

Use Allowable Strength Design. Use A992 steel and select a W-shape for the following beam:

•         Simply supported with a span length of 40 feet

•         Laterally braced only at the ends

•         Service dead load = 0.4 kips/ft

•         Service live load = 1.2 kips/ft

•         The service dead load consists of a 10 kip concentrated load at the center of the span.

•         The service live load consists of a 30 kip concentrated load at the center of the span.

There is no limit on the deflection.
