Question

А w18 x 40 steel spandrel (edge) beam spans 20'. The beam supports a uniform floor live load of 1 kip/ft and a uniform floor dead load of 0.5 kip/ft. The beam also supports brick veneer weighing .6 kip/ft as a uniform dead load. The maximum allowable total load deflection for beams supporting masonry (brick or block) is L/640. Calculate the live load and total load deflections. Do the live load and total load deflections exceed the allowable deflections for floor live load and for total load supporting masonry?
