I wanna know about which type of section or bars used in gate, grill by structural engineer or fabricator, that how they calculate how that section will be strong enough.
If I remember right, they just work off the theoretical moment of inertia and section modulus of the bars I think capacity is figured on 20,000 psi allowable stress (load tables should say).
Also note how they define their concentrated load, I think load on a 1' width.
