A 40 ft simple span beam is loaded with a uniform dead load of 2.4 kips/ft plus the beam self-weight and a uniform live load of 3.3 kips/ft. The lateral supports are located at the supports and at the midpoint of the span. Determine the leastweight W-shape to carry the load. Use A992 steel and Cb= 1.0. Design by (a) LRFD and (b) ASD.
