Question: A simple span beam with a uniformly distributed dead load of 1 . 0 k f t , plus its self - weight, and concentrated

A simple span beam with a uniformly distributed
dead load of 1.0kft, plus its self-weight, and
concentrated dead loads of 2.5 kips and live loads of
8.0 kips at the quarter points of a 20-ft span, is to be
designed with lateral supports at the supports and
mid-span. The live load deflection must be limited to
1240 of the span. Use the correct Cb and be sure to
check shear. Determine the least-weight W-shape to
carry the loads. Use A992 steel. Design by (a) LRFD
and (b) ASD.
