    Weld Strength of Upright Support on a Frame

    Attached is the pdf. I have also included some calculations completed on the beam weld. Thanks, Warrenhttp://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=5c588fdf-cfd5-4476-9411-45128f6d0cf0&file=Weld_Strength_Calcs.pdf

    Weld Strength of Upright Support on a Frame

    Hello, I am trying to calculate the required weld strength for an upright support of a frame welded to a base plate. Have have completed some calculations (see attached document), but since I haven't completed any of these calculations before I am unsure if I have completed them correctly. If...

    Design of a Base Plate - BS 5950-1:2000

    Hello, I am looking at designing a base plate for a pipe support frame using the effective area method. When it comes to calculating c I get two negative values. Does this mean the beam itself is capable of distributing the load across the concrete base and thus any size base plate can be used...

    4 Point Load Beam Deflection

    IDS, I have looked over the spreadsheet you attached and it seems the equation you are using is as follows: d = (W/(6EI)) * (2(L^3) - 3a(L^2) + a^3) Should this not be d = (W/(6EI)) * (2(L^3) - 3(L^(2a)) + a^3) Taking a formula from your spread sheet...

    4 Point Load Beam Deflection

    Thank you all for your help. IDS, I have drawn the shear force diagram and you are correct my maximum moment was incorrect. I have tried the deflection calculation you mention above and for the same values get 1.42mm, is the 2.42mm a typo or have I done this incorrectly? Thanks wsg1

    4 Point Load Beam Deflection

    Hello, I am looking at designing a pipe support using a universal beam. I believe I have the correct calculations for bending stress, shear stress etc. But I am struggling to find an equation for deflection. At the moment I am currently estimating the combined loads as a single point load...
