The total floor load (from D+L combo) is 35 psf for the simply supported beam shown. The tributary
width of the beam is 2ft and the length is 7ft. Assume Douglas Fir-Larch No.2 is used. What is the
optimal (smallest)2x section to use for this beam? (Consider only bending criteria in your
design). See the information below to aid you in the design. A section properties table (tabulated
values for each shape can be found at the end of the assignment).
Use the following equation to calculate the adjusted design value for the bending stress capacity:
Fb'=CDCmCtFb
Use the table below to select your Cd value:
Use the following table to select the Fb value based on the material grade.
Repeat problem 1 with L=14ft.
The total floor load ( from D + L combo ) is 3 5
