Help Sizing I Beam
On Tue, 15 Jul 2003 09:24:43 -0400, Jesse Hill wrote: Hi all, I need some help in sizing an I beam for a lifting frame that I'm thinking of building. The goal is to span 10 feet and have a working load capacity of 4000 pounds with a reasonable safety factor, and keep bending to a safe and useable level. Said 10 foot span is supported at each end. I have room to build this as an a-frame style truss, but if possible, I'd like to use an I beam that's big enough for the job, without additional overhead support. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions? Thanks, Jess Please disregard this post. It was an accidental repost of a question I asked previously. Thanks to all, and please excuse this waste of your bandwidth and time. Jess |
