In the following problem, the given loads are superimposed service loads; that is, they do not include the weights of the beams (unless noted otherwise). For structural steel beams (unless otherwise noted), assume a yield stress of 50 ksi (345 MPa). For timber beams, all beams are solid, rectangular shapes and Appendices E and F are applicable. Consider only moment and shear (unless otherwise noted).
Rework Problem given a load of 1.0 kip/ft and a span length of 30 ft.
