My constant in my calculations was Plate height h limited by the gap between the I-beam flanges. The only practical dimension to vary was the plate thickness.
Lol I do know how to go about the calcs for Iyy and Izz, I went further and incorporated the web of the beam as well to help attain a...
I saw this and wondered how such a beam was sized. I take it the goal was to eliminate the idea of having one strong and weak axis in relation to buckling?
If you take a look at the image below, the I beam doesn't seem that big.
Hi, I was wondering what ways one would use to get an equal radius of gyration in both yy & zz axis of given cross sections.
I tried using 2 flat plates and I beam to achieve this by equating the desired radius of gyration to that of the highest radius of gyration of the I beam.
After some...
