Figure 1 shows a simply supported beam made of A572 Grade 50 steel. The beam is subjected to unifromily distributed service dead and live loads as shown in the figure. Knowing that the beam is to be provided with lateral bracing system to ensure no lateral torsional buckling, it is required to: 1. Find the lightest W section to support the loads shown in Fig. 1. 2. Identify the number and locations of lateral bracing points needed to prevent lateral torsional buckling. 3. Develop an EXCEL spreadsheet to repeat part 1 above using the necessary equations instead of using the design charts.
