Thanks for the help, Mike. I checked out the Blodgett book and it was a great explanation!

I essentially have this situation, but the the load is longitudinally along the tip of the plate: http://www.gowelding.com/calcs/ (You have to go to the one labeled "cantilever"). For some reason I can't provide a DIRECT link to it. I am trying to search for my situation in a simplistic example...

Does anyone know whether or not there are free BOCA codes online. I've found UBC online for free, but can't seem to find BOCA.

Well...that sounds lovely :) I was wondering if anyone knew of anywhere I could find the info from someone (online, etc) who has done that legwork before.

Yes. I mean SBC and BOCA as well. If I'm correct, the IBC didn't start until IBC 2000. I'm looking for standards referenced such as: ACI AF&PA AISC ASCE AWS BIA NCMA PCI SDI SJI TMS WFCM These are all nicely laid out in Chapter 35 of IBC 2000 and more recent.

Thanks "KootK " and "Ingenuity". That helped greatly!

Please refer to the image. This monorail has a cable running across the top with pulleys. So, essentially a point load at the right of the image and at the end of the left side cantilever. I am trying to decide what the unbraced length is of the cantilever at the left side. I am finding many...

Does anyone know of a resource that has Shears, Moment, and defelections for the situation in the subject line. These are not in Table 3 of AISC 360 1. Propped Cantilever w/ Load increasing Uniformly to Fixed End 2. Propped Cantilever w/ Load increasing Uniformly to Pinned End
