Question: ( Note - Use f ' c = 4 , 0 0 0 , f y = 6 0 , 0 0 0 and concrete

(Note - Use f'c=4,000,fy=60,000 and concrete unit weight 150lbcuft unless otherwise noted. All answers require units where applicable. Show all work.)
Determine the ultimate design load wu(kft) for the rectangular concrete beam B 1 in the floor system sketched (in section) below. The slab is 8'' thick and the stem of the beam below the slab is 24 in deep x18 in wide. The beam is part of a floor system with beams spaced at 15 ft on center. Superimposed dead load is 50 psf and live load is 100 psf (both unfactored).
( Note - Use f ' c = 4 , 0 0 0 , f y = 6 0 , 0 0
