Select an economical A 36 steel wide flange section as a beam to carry a combined uniform distributed load of 10,000 plf and a 70-kip concentrated load placed at mid-span. The beam's clear span =30?, with adequate lateral support. Fb? and Fv? are 0.6Fy? and 0.4Fy? respectively, where Fy? is the yield strength of A36 steel. The deflection requirement is D<L/240. (Full credit =3pts). Hints: 1) You do not need to consider the beam's self-weight in this question. 2) Use the textbook Appendix 1 for the wide flange sections. 3) The Elastic Modulus, E, for A36 steel is 29×106 psi. 4) We discussed the yield strength of A36 steel in session 3. 5) Do not forget to perform bending, shear, and deflection check.
