    Complex Beam Calculation - Where to start?

    You know what, let's pretend I never made this thread. I don't care and I've already given up. Too many questions about shit that doesn't matter in reference to the original thread. I just wanted some help with beam equations. Now I'm giving up on being an engineer.

    Complex Beam Calculation - Where to start?

    JStructsteel We ultimately hire a PE to bless the calculations but as you may have noticed, we're going through a period of loss of meaning. The PE generally just confirms our calculations, without regard to the analysis we are trying to do. I have put in notice at this job, and I am not...

    Complex Beam Calculation - Where to start?

    This is a larger than usual door. They will roll on large wheels, supported by ASCE rail, held in the H shaped frame at the bottom. At the top of the door, it will be held in plane using another set of wheels and angles. Those angles exist in place already and we aren't responsible for their...

    Complex Beam Calculation - Where to start?

    driftLimiter: This is a door. My calculations are in regards to material choice (which size channel, s beam, etc.). The governing force is wind "into" the page. There will be glass in the "windows". It doesn't appear that any members are loaded only by the distributed load because they all...

    Complex Beam Calculation - Where to start?

    Hello Everyone, I have been visiting this forum for a little while for tips but finally was stumped enough to make an account and post! I am working on a force analysis and it is so complicated I cannot figure out where to start. My intuition: The most independent members to me...
