Introduction to Steel Design

The area of steel design is majorly concerned with the structural engineering domain, which is a specialization of civil engineering. Steel design is often known as structural steel design, whose primary concern is to design steel structures. The primary structure involves the designing and construction of frames using structural steel as the material. Residential buildings, houses, bridges, complexes, tall buildings, industrial warehouses, aircraft frames, frames of ships, and stadiums are some of the examples of structures that use steel framing.

Question

Steel beams, spaced 8 ft apart, are driven into the ground to support the sheet
piling of a coffer dam. If the working stress in bending is 14 ksi, what is the lightest
S-shape that can be used for the beams? The weight of water is 62.5 lb/ft3.
