A fully-restrained beam with span length of 10 meters was designed using ASTM A36 steel (Fy = 250 MPa) rolled as W16x57 section. Lateral bracing was only provided on the supports and on third points. The said beam is to be subjected to a super-imposed uniformly distributed dead load of 5.00 kN/m and a total uniformly distributed live load of 20.00 kN/m. The only deflection limit imposed for the design of the said structure is that its deflection at midspan due to total service loads should not exceed its span length divided by 150. Assess if the designed section for the beam is adequate for its purpose. Consider flexure, shear, and the imposed deflection limit. Use LRFD specifications. Assume unstiffened webs.
