Hey all,
I haven't done much math in 5 years as my position doesn't require too much so it has long been forgotten. I have this problem where I have a T beam upside down welded to a cylindrical steel tube. The T beam is one of many (they are frames). We are planning on hanging a beam clamp up around the flanges of one of the T beams and have it bite down at the web/flange connection point. We will be hanging 1300lbs from it (treat it as a static problem) even though it will move. The material of the T beam is HY-80 and the flange and web thickness is 0.625". I was figuring that I would look at tension in the web and shear in the flange... I just dont know how it works when it is a cylindrical shell with the T beam welded to it. It would be hanging from the top point of the cylinder. Not sure what formulas to use or where to start when it comes to a problem like this. May be way simpler than I am making it out to be...
