Attached is a design example from "Single Angle Design Manual" by Whitney, McNulty, PE. I have not had this very long. It cost $30 from lulu.com and the copyright is 2008. It uses the AISC 13th Edition and the 2005 Design Spec. It is about 130 pages and has lots of...
The attached sketch is from ASCE 7-05. This may help you. I believe this to still be accurate. https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=862b8f6b-14ef-4bfe-99ed-1fe4fd2945ff&file=ASCE_7-05_LL_Sketch.pdf
Attached are a few pages from "Advanced Strength of Materials" by J. P. Den Hartog - Dover publications. There are some problems (not worked) and solutions if you are interested.

You may also want to look at the AISC 9th edition (allowable stress design). There is a specification and commentary (page 5-309 thru 5-323 in my copy). Like JStephen suggests I would also look at the latest edition to see if that is more conservative, but the 9th edition will have equations...
Whenever possible we try to work these safety factors into the allowable side and even then it is complicated because many of the equations use Fy and the ratio between Fy and Fu is not constant.
For A36 steel and using Fu = 58 ksi then 58/5 = 11.6 ksi and 5/1.67 = 2.99 or 3 and 36/3 = 12 ksi...
APA (US) has two free publications that can be downloaded. Design/Construction Guide: Concrete Forming V345 (May 2012) is for plyform and the Plywood Design Spec Y510 (1997 ?) for plywood. They both have design allowables and design examples.
Try Dayton Superior C1, C2, C3, & C13. These are in a 2012 catalog. The problem is you still have to strip this from the underside and usually cut off the wires, so you are not too far from needing a work deck. Tying off while installing may also be a problem.
An applicable code reference (US and possibly more?) would be ASME NUM-1 which I believe replaces the CMAA document. The current version is 2009. The document is titled "Rules for Construction of Cranes, Monorails, and Hoists (With Bridge or Trolley or Hoist of the Underhung Type). I saw online...
ASME NUM-1-2009 is titled "Rules for Construction of Cranes, Monorails, and Hoists (With Bridge or Trolley or Hoist of the Underslung Type). I have a few pages of the 2000 edition that has the local flange bending due to wheel loads example. I believe this replaces the old CMAA 74 document. I...
Attached is another picture of the nameplate. The capacitor info is 54 mdf /250 volt. I have not applied any voltage to the motor yet. It was marked as tested at the Habitat Re-store. The wiring diagram diagram has the colors listed as red, blue, brn, & white with the line voltage going to...
Thanks for the responses. I will post a better pic of the nameplate tonight - camera skills not the best. I believe the motor is reversible by interchanging the blue or red leads with the line side (white to neutral - brown not used) There is some verbage about a capacitor and I will look at...
Attached is a picture of a motor I bought at a Habitat Re-Store. It is made by Westinghouse and the nameplate indicates it is 1/3 hp, 1000 rpm, 115 v, 60 cycle, single phase, 4.6 amps - Model # C1021142-1. The direction is reversible and I am not sure about the duty cycle. The nameplate says...
Another consideration is reshores for the floor framing on either side of the beam. I may not understand the conditions, but if the floor at the beam soffit is going to carry the upper floor without any reshores you probably want to be very conservative with the live load capacity of the lower...
Thanks to everyone for their comments. The controller is sold by Automation Direct and is a SOLO SL4848VR. It may best to forget the volt meter ( I really do like the way it looks though) and use the hole in the front panel for the cooling fan. I was going to put a hole in the top for the...
My idea was to see the voltage going to the 13 amp kiln (which is the output of the SSR). A data sheet is attached and I have the SSRL240DG25. I expect I will see 110-120 volts on the meter for the 10 to 15 minutes for the kiln to reach 1650 F. Then the temperature controller should cycle the...
Attached is a revised copy of my schematic. I tried to make the colors more consistant - I have used a heavy black line for the Hot side and a grey dashed line for the neutral. I moved the rectifier fuse to be in front of the solid state relay (I had it placed after the relay because I had...
