Beam Formula ?
Beam Formula ?
(OP)
Has anybody seen the attached beam formula? I am reviewing and old clac that uses this formula to determine max span 's" of a steel beam for making sure that the beam is rigid. This beam is being attached to an existing beam that at the point of attachment has stiffness K.
K is the minimum stiffness that is supposedly desired for the new beam.
If you can reference the source/book it would be appreciated.

RE: Beam Formula ?
eg stiffness for a rod is AE/L
what loading is assumed ? UDL ? point ?? harmonic ???
is the beam assumed to be simply supported ?
can you clean up the pic ... whats the denominator of K ?
ie beta^4 * 4EI = K/?
again, maybe it's a common structural term, but what does "rigid" mean to you ?
fixed ends (cantilever) ? small deflections ??
