Determine the least weight W shape to support a uniformly distributed load of 2 kip/ft DL and 3 kip/ft LL. The beam is a 45’ long simply supported span with a single bracing point at 15 ft.   The beams designed in the previous part are a part of a moment frame structure. Consider the beam size selected as the standard size for all beams in the structure. The columns on this particular level are 20’ long and support 3 floors of the loading given in the previous part. The column currently being considered is a W 14x109. Is this sufficient to carry the load?
