Same as Problem 5.11-8, but let all the loads on the girder act as a uniform load (be sure to include the weight of the beams). Use LRFD and design a typical girder for the floor system of Problem 5.11-7. Do not check deflections. Assume that the girder is supporting beams on each side, and assume that the beams weigh 35 lb/ft. Consider the beam reactions to act as point loads on the girder.
A. Use LRFD.
B. Use ASD.
C. Use LRFD and consider the beams' weight as a distributed load.
D. Use ASD and consider the beams' weight as a distributed load.
