A 36 ft simply supported beam is loaded with concentrated loads 16 ft inwards from each support. On the left side, the dead load
is 8.0 kips and the live load is 18.0 kips. On the other side, the dead load is 4.0 kips and the live load is 9.0 kips. Self-weight of the beam can be ignored. Lateral supports are provided at the supports and the load points. Determine the least-weight W-shape to carry the load. Use A992 steel, Cb = 1.0 and Table 3.10 of the 15th edition of the Manual. check if a W21×62 will be sufficient considering the correct Cb. Do not use Table 3.10 and work the problem with calculations.
