Problem 4: A WF section has a simple span of 12 m. The beam is laterally
supported at both ends and at the midspan. It carries a service uniform dead
load of 12 kN/m.
1. Determine the flexural strength of the beam.
2. Determine the safe service concentrated live load that the beam could
support at its midspan.

rx = 153 mm
ly = 55.8 x 106 mm4
Sy = 436 x 10³ mm³
ry = 63 mm
J = 1.36 x 106 mmª
Zx = 1,980 x 10³ mm³
Cb = 1.0
Lr = 8.24 m
Lp = 2.91 m
