Situation 2: The beam shown in the figure is a W33 x 118 of A992 steel (Fy = 345 MPa). The uniform load does not include the weight of the beam and lateral support is provided only at A, B, and C. The live load deflection limit is L/360. Use the AISC LRFD Specifications. Determine the maximum moment due to the loads by drawing a shear and moment diagram. Label values at all changes in loading and at points of zero shear. Write the magnitude of the maximum moment with the correct unit 1.For Situation 2, determine the governing Cb factor
