A 16 x 24 section is used as a simply supported RC beam on a span of 30 ft. The beam is subjected to a concentrated roof live load of 6 k at midspan in addition to a uniform dead load of 1.5 k/ft (excluding beam self-weight), snow load of 0.9 k/ft, and wind load of +2.5 k/ft. Determine the governing factored moment on the beam. Do not ignore the self-weight of the beam. Assume the unit weight of concrete is 150 pcf.
