In your new employment, you have been tasked to adopt lean practices to deliver a quality building project. This requirement is part of your company's goals. At the same time, you are required to integrate green practices as a compliance with the country's National Building Regulations/Codes. Is there any difference between both lean and green (green building) practices? And how will you ensure a balance between both requirements?

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.
