Question 5: A simply supported beam (Figure P5.5-3) is subjected to a uniform service dead load of 1.0 kips/ft (including the weight of the beam), a uniform service live load of 2.5 kips/ft, and a concentrated service dead load of 45 kips. The beam is 40 feet long, and the concentrated load is located 15 feet from the left end. The beam has contin- uous lateral support, and A572 Grade 50 steel is used. Is a W30 × 116 adequate? a. Use LRFD. b. Use ASD. P, = 45k 15' 25'- Wp = 1.0k/ft W = 2.5k/ft W30 x 116 40
