major to carry a superimposed uniform dead load of 0.45 kip/ft and uniform live load of 0.75 kip/ft throughout its entire span. The beam is braced against lateral deflection at its supports and at its midspan. Assess the adequacy of the beam to carry the given loads. Use IBC limits for satisfying deflection requirements. Use ASD specifications.
