A beam is part of the framing system for the floor of an office building. The floor is subjected to both dead loads and live loads. The maximum moment caused by the service dead load is 44 ft-kips, and the maximum moment for the service live load is 48 ft-kips (these moments occur at the same location on the beam and can therefore be combined). If ASD is used, what is the required nominal strength of the beam for a safety factor Ω of 1.50?

Which manufacturing process produces the largest category of standard cross-sectional shapes?
