Problem $2$: This problem concerns the simply supported ASTM A$992$ beam circled in the following floor

plan. Tasks to perform, assumptions, and section to use for parts a$)$ and b$)$ are:

a$)$

Evaluate the adequacy of this beam

for bending using the adequate LRFD load

combination $($use the correct $Cb$ factor from

Table $3-1)$

b$)$

Evaluate the adequacy of this beam

for shear using the adequate LRFD load

combination

Beam Section: W$16$X$40$

Dead Load, $D($including self$-$weight of the

beams and slab$)$: $40$ psf

Live Load, $L$:$40$ psf

There is NO composite beam behavior

The compression flange is laterally

supported at $\frac{1}{3}$ of the beam span
