Beam on beam Analysis
Beam on beam Analysis

Hi,
I was reading the above thread and was unsure about how to go about calculating the bending stresses in such a system where the beams are unconnected. When carrying a lateral load causing a sagging moment, is the bending moment in each beam equal and does the maximum bending stress occur in the weaker beam (assuming beams have different moments of inertia).
Thanks in advance

RE: Beam on beam Analysis
I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
