Select the lightest rolled shape W section steel beam for a member with a simply- supported span of 16 ft. The beam must support a uniformly distributed load of D= 2.1 k/ft and L= 4.5 k/ft. Lateral support of the compression flange is provided at the ends and the centerline of the beam span. Determine a value of Cb. Neglect the beam self-weight and use A992, Grade 50 steel. As part of your answer indicate the following: Member selected W_x Cb = OMn Mu

Question

Transcribed Image Text:Select the lightest rolled shape \( W \) section steel beam for a member with a simply-supported span of 16 ft. The beam must support a uniformly distributed load of \( D = 2.1 \, \text{k/ft} \) and \( L = 4.5 \, \text{k/ft} \). Lateral support of the compression flange is provided at the ends and the centerline of the beam span. Determine a value of \( C_b \). Neglect the beam self-weight and use A992, Grade 50 steel.
As part of your answer indicate the following:
- Member selected: \( \text{W} \, \_\_\_\_ \, \times \, \_\_\_\_\_ \)
- \( C_b = \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_)
- \( \Phi M_n = \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_)
- \( M_u = \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_)
