Question: Determine if a 1 5 - ft long 6 1 4 beam is adequate to support a dead load w D = 0 . 1

Determine if a 15- ft long 614 beam is adequate to support a dead load wD=0.16kipft and a live load wL=0.25kipft. The member is unincised-Select Structural Eastern Hemlock with MC >19% and a normal temperature range. Live load deflection should not exceed L/360 and total deflection should not exceed L240. The member is part of a floor system and is repeated every 26-in. It is also fully braced by the floor sheathing and sits on a 4-in wide beam (nominal) on each side. Make sure you check all limit states even if the first one you check shows the beam to be inadequate.
