3. A W shaped steel beam is used as a simply supported beam carrying a 200mm thick concrete slab with
unit weight of 24 kPa, ceiling load of 0.5 kPa and live load of 2 kPa. The beam is 6 m long and is spaced
at 2 m on centers as shown. The allowable bending stress is 0.66 Fy, Modulus of Elasticity is 200 GPa and
Fy = 248 MPa. 10 POINTS
a. Compute the uniform load pressure carried by the beam.
b. Compute the load carried by the beam in kN/m.
c. Compute the most economical section to be used as a beam.
