If you have a W12x16 beam supported on top plated columns at each end and the beam is 50'-0" lg., will the beam fail in bending if the only load on the beam is the weight of the beam itself? Assume there is no axial or lateral loads applied on the beam and that the unbraced length is the...

Have a W12x16 beam, 50'-0" lg. The ends are supported by top plated columns. There is no load on the beam except the weight from the beam itself(assume no lateral force for example). Question is this: Will the beam fail in bending due to the unbraced length of 50'-0"?
