A uniformly loaded, simply supported, ASTM A992 steel beam has a span of 28 feet. Lateral support is provided at midspan and at the ends of the beam. The total factored uniform load, including the beam's self-weight, is 8.5 kip/ft. Use Table 3-10 of the AISC Design Manual to select the lightest W section that can safely resist the applied load.
