Design the T and L beams that are used for a roof system to cover a floor plan dimensions of 26 ft X 60 ft. The floor system consists of 5 in. thick slab supported by T and L beams at the end. Clear span for beams is 25 ft and they are spaced at 14 ft center to center. Live and external dead load on slab are 100 psf and 15 psf respectively. Compressive strength of concrete is 4,000 psi and yield strength of steel is 60,000 psi.  Width and thickness are 14 in and 28 in respectively for both T and L beams.
