A pipeline is to be supported above ground on horizontal beams, 14 ft long. Consider each beam to be simply supported at its ends. Each beam carries the combined weight of 50 ft of 48-in-diameter pipe and the oil flowing through it, about 42 000 lb. Assuming the load acts at the center of the beam, specify the required section modulus of the beam to limit the bending stress to 20 000 psi. Then specify a suitable wide flange or American Standard beam.
