Problem #$1$:

A W$12$ X $65$ is used as a simply supported, uniformly loaded beam with a span length of $50$ feet

and continuous lateral support. The yield stress, $F_y,$ is $50$ ksi $.$ If the ratio of live load to dead load

is $3,$ compute the available strength and determine the maximum total service load, in kips$/$ ft $,$

that can be supported. Use ASD.
