Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Given:** Consider the beam below with full lateral support of the compression flange throughout the entire length of the beam. Self-weight of the beam is not included in the service loads indicated.
**Diagram Description:**
- The beam is supported at both ends, with one end fixed and the other end supported by a roller.
- The beam is divided into three segments of 10 feet each, totaling 30 feet in length.
- Two point loads (P) are applied to the beam, each located 10 feet apart, starting from the left support.
- A uniform distributed load (w) is applied across the entire length of the beam.
**Loads:**
- Point load, \(P_L = 25 \text{ k}\)
- Distributed load, \(w_D = 2 \text{ k/ft}\)
**Find:** The lightest W-shape beam. LRFD and ASD.
**Note:** LRFD stands for Load and Resistance Factor Design, and ASD stands for Allowable Stress Design.
