Question: Select the lightest W ( A 9 9 2 steel ) for the simply supported girder shown below. Use LRFD . The member is laterally

Select the lightest W (A992 steel) for the simply supported girder shown below. Use LRFD.
The member is laterally braced at points F,G,H, and I.
Consider the self-weight of the girder for all calculations.
Maximum depth of girder =19 in
Maximum deflection due to live load Span/360
Maximum deflection due to dead plus live loads Span/240
Calculate the deflections at mid-span.
You may use the AISC Manual aids to select the section.
Verify the flexural strength and shear strength of the girder using the AISC Specification formulas.
Service load R:
R(dead),=6k,R(live),=13k
Service uniform distributed load W:
W(dead),= self-weight of girder +0.175kft,W(live),= none
The service loads include the self-weight of beams (P) and (R).
Select the lightest W ( A 9 9 2 steel ) for the
