Situation 2 A 12m simply-supported floor beam is to carry a superimposed uniform dead load of 7 kN/m and uniform live load of 12kN/m throughout its entire span. The beam is braced against lateral deflection at its supports and at its midspan. Determine the most economical W18 section (A572 Gr. 50) for the beam described. Use IBC limits for satisfying deflection requirements. Use LRFD specifications. Use Cb = 1.00.
