A W18 40 standard steel shape is used to support the loads 

A W18 40 standard steel shape is used to support the loads shown on the beam. Assume P = 17 kips, w = 3.8 kips/ft, LAB = 5.2 ft, LBC = 5.2 ft, and LcD = 14.0 ft. Determine the magnitude of the maximum bending stress in the beam. P LAB B LBC |C W LCD X
