1. A W21 × 48 is used as a simply supported, uniformly loaded beam with a span length of 50 feet and continuous lateral support. The yield stress, Fy, is 60 ksi. If the ratio of live load to dead load is 3, compute the available strength and determine the maximum total service load (D+L), in kips/ft, that can be supported considering the flexure and shear strength of the beam.

a. Use LRFD.

b. Use ASD.

Follow-up Question

you forgot about the shear. But it's okay I still apreciate it, what I'm looking for tho is if I should add the value of service loads of flexural and shear as my final answer? same goes with the available strength should I sum the value of flexural and shear? tyyyy
