load analysis steel pipe
(OP)
Can someone give me an idea of how to calculate load capacity on a steel pipe with a certain OD at a given length? Are there calculators online I could use?

If so, there are allowable load tables in the AISC manual for different pipe diameters,wall thicknesses and different KL values.
RE: load analysis steel pipe
I don't know of any java applets around that do it, but I'm sure you could find one if you look hard enough.

Even if you pursue this, you are going to need a qualified welder and many fittings to make the joints. I recommend you contact a prefab bridge producer before getting too much farther. CONSPAN manufacturers precast concrete bridge products that can easily span 30 feet, but are designed for substantially more than a tractor. U S Bridge manufactures prefab steel trusses. Their off the shelf stuff would likely also be more substantial, but they may be able to produce something closer to your needs. Good Luck

Moment = 5000 lbs * 30 ft * 12 in/ft * 1/2
Bending stress, Fb = Moment/Section_modulus, I estimate that it should have an allowable of around 18 ksi for "unknown" pipe.
Where section_modulus = I/r
I = moment of intertia
c = radius to outside of pipe
calculate "I" here,

Needs adequate lateral bracing.
Now, how much do you really need that tractor across the stream?

Or, maybe I should post the following on the Electrical Engineering forum:
Guys:
Although I'm a structural engineer, I need to design a substation, to power my home and 5 neighbors' homes. I have a Costco generator, and approx. 50 feet of wire. Any tips?

Download RamAdvance's demo version, and see what happens when you design your frame, and put vehicle load on it.

Excellent book, the problem is it was written in 1915. Probably 90% of it has only historical interest or is far too specific, but you may learn a lot from the remaining 10%.

RE: load analysis steel pipe
how are you going to make a decking to distribute the load ?
maybe you could align 2 pairs of pipes to make two tracks, but that sounds a bit dodgy. you'd need to join them together (welds). maybe nest one of your smaller pipes between two large ones; also add some small ones as cross bracing.
maybe you'll be alright ... good luck !
