    A 30 foot long beam carries a uniform load of 1650 lb/ft and its own weight of 50 lb/ft, resulting in a maximum bending moment of 2,295,000 lb. The required section modulus is 95.6 in^3. The most economic section that meets this requirement is a W18x55 beam, which has a section modulus of 98.2 in^3 and can support a total load of 51,000 lb, slightly more than required.

    Most Economic Section for a Beam with a Continuous Lateral Support Under a Uniform Load
    Case 1 A beam on simple span carries a uniform superimposed load below,
    Length =
    30 ft
    Load =
    1650 lb/ft

    Calculation Procedure
    1). Compute the maximum bending moment and the required section modulus
    Assume,
    Weight =
    50 lb/ft
    2
    M = (1/8)wL
    =
    2295000 lb
    Allowable (f) =
    S = M/f
    =

    depend on load at beam

    24000 lb/in2
    95.6 in3

    2). Select the most economic section


    refer to AISC Manual
    Use = W18x55
    S=

    depend on value of S

    98.2 in3

    3). Calculate the total load on the member


    W = Length x Total Load
    =
    51000 lb

    4). Select the most economic section


    refer to the tables of allowable uniform loads in the Manual
    thus, use = W18x55
    W allow =
    52000 lb
    the capacity of the beam is therefore slightly greater than required
