OT engineers: need help with load holding weight of beam
Posted on 4/20/17 at 7:41 pm
Posted on 4/20/17 at 7:41 pm
I need to figure out what size H-Beam I need to hold 750 pounds over a 30-foot span.
Is there a good chart that illustrates the various beam sizes and weights they hold over various spans?

Are you trying to get us to do your structural analysis homework?

A little late to start studying for the PE...

It would be hanging from a hoist sliding back and forth across the beam, so it would be at various points on the beam, but never in more than one spot.

I gave up structural analysis when I finished Structural Analysis II.
I will recommend this though. Might be of some help for determining beam sizes. I have no idea where mine is for reference.

This guy writes like an engineer, I'd listen to him.

Times everything by 37. They just hate that. Also if you are a structural engineer please quit and go to work at Walmarks.

Point or line load? Dead only?

If it is darkish steel, by the government.

I'm not an engineer but every hoist beam I've ever installed was as "S" beam and I've put in quite a few.
Posted on 4/20/17 at 8:02 pm to CHEDBALLZ
You're correct
Posted on 4/20/17 at 8:03 pm to Bjorn Cyborg
