A W12x65 is to be used as a simply supported beam on a span of 20 ft with lateral support at the ends only. The beam is required to support a plastered ceiling. If the dead load is 0.20kips/ft (including beam weight), what is the maximum uniform service live load permitted on the beam, using A992 steel? What percentage increase in live load can be gained if the beam is A572 Grade 65 steel.
