Question $1$

A simply$-$supported $416$ Hem$-$Fir member is bent about its strong $(x-x)$ axis. The member has a clear span of $26$ feet with lateral support only at the

ends, and required end bearing lengths of $4$ inches at each end. The equilibrium moisture content is $17\%$ and the critical load combination is Dead and

Snow Load. What is the maximum uniform load $($lb$/$ft$)$ that the beam can carry $($including the beam weight$)$ while meeting the requirements for bending?
