Design the lightest W16 tension member section of steel of Fy= 50 ksi, Fu= 65 ksi to support a tensile service dead load PD = 270 k and a tensile service load PL= 220 k. the member is to be 53 ft. long the member is to have two lines of bolts in each flange for 7/8-in bolts (there are three in a line 4 in on center). At the end you should make the necessary checks.
