Question: For the floor plan analyzed in the previous homework assignment, choose from below the lightest W sections for floor beam B 1 and girder G

For the floor plan analyzed in the previous homework assignment, choose from below the lightest W sections for floor beam B1 and girder G1, respectively. Ensure that the midspan deflections in both members is less than l240 where l is span of the beam or the girder.
(a) W12x19: A=5.57in2,I=130in4
(b) W12x22: A=6.48in2,I=156in4
(c) W14x34: A=10.0in2,I=340in4
(d) W14x90: A=26.5in2,I=999in4
Assume E=29,000ksi (i.e., steel). The / values reported are about the strong axis already.
Requirements:
Show all steps to justify your selection.
For Beam B1, use elastic curve in Appendix D.
For Girder G1, use virtual work equation with integration table or visual integration.
