Example 10.1 - A simply supported girder has a span of 5.5m with a factored concentrated load of 250 kN at the midspan. The girder is braced laterally throughout its length. Ignoring the self-weight of the beam, and considering only M₁ > Mf,select the lightest W shape to carry the load for 350W steel. The allowable flexural stress is 165MPa.
