Solution to Problem 532 | Economic Sections
Problem 532
A beam simply supported at the ends of a 25-ft span carries a uniformly distributed load of 1000 lb/ft over its entire length. Select the lightest S section that can be used if the allowable stress is 20 ksi. What is the actual maximum stress in the beam selected?
General instruction
Assume that the beam in the problem is properly braced against lateral deflection. Be sure to include the weight of the beam itself.
