Question: ( 2 0 points ) A simply supported beam spans 4 0 feet and supports the factored loads shown in the figure ( shear force

(20 points) A simply supported beam spans 40 feet and supports the factored loads shown in the figure (shear force diagram is provided). The top flange is braced at the supports and the point loads only. Assume A992 Grade 50 steel.
a. Complete the bending moment diagram, and determine the Mmax when you calculate Cb for section AB (end-span).
b. Use =1150k-ft. Assuming Cb=1.0 for section BC , select the lightest wide flange section that will support the given loads for section BC.
(Partial Answers: potential beam selections are W30x99 and W30x108)
a) Draw the factored shear force and bending moment diagrams in the spaces provided.
( 2 0 points ) A simply supported beam spans 4 0
