Design the lightest A992 W section possible for the temporary construction loading only. Tkae the beam span to be 24-ft and simply supported. These typical floor beams are 5 feet on the center. The concrete slab is 4 inches, normal weight, f'c = 4ksi and will be placed directly on the beam. Assume that the formwork and the beam self-weight is 10 psf. Apply the concrete ponding factor that steel deck institute (SDI) recommends during the concrete placement and treat the concrete as live load. Take the additional live load during the construction as 20 psf. Assume that the beam has continuous support support along its compression flange. Check the beam for flexure, shear and a maximum LL deflection of L/360.
