A floor system is supported by WF A36 steel beams 7.7m long and spaced 3.8m on centers. The beams are simply supported at their ends and are laterally supported over the entire span. Assume compact section and neglect beam self-weight. The properties of the beam section are: d = 559 mm, tw = 47mm, bf = 299mm, tf = 57mm, k = 72mm, shape factor SF= 1.2, Sx= 8478x10^3. Use allowable deflection (1/360) of beam span. Calculate the ULTIMATE floor load in KPa that the beam can carry against SHEAR. Express your answer in 2 decimal places
