Problem 2: A existing (E) W18x40 is deflecting too much and you were asked to decrease the floor deflection by 30%. Since space is limited, you can only use a maximum of a 3" deep member. Choose a WT member to increase the moment of inertia by 30%. Note: Do not over-design the member or else you'll loose the job to another engineer. You are given $1,500 to do this job.
