Hi,
I was checking a beam for a "maximum" point load in the middle of the beam (30 ft beam supported at 28ft span). This is a header beam on a gantry system with a shackle and sling directly in middle of beam. When checked with a point load in the middle i can get around 230 kip at .95 code...
JAE thank you for your response,
1. The beam design is in the risa file which consists of (2) W8x35 w/ 0.75" gussets (not continous) A992 Steel at 201" length.
2. the beam is just sitting on the cans. So i am not exactly sure the answer to this question.
3. point load would be sufficient...
I do.. but the jacking cans pushing up effect the structural integrity of the beam also?? ... do i put this as a point load pointing Y+ direction (one on each jack) with half the weight on each? But yes i do admit i am not that great with risa and structural analysis. I am trying to learn some...
Hi, This is for learning purposes but i am using a real life situation that I have came across before.
If someone could please show me the steps/explanation of this I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE it.
So, there is a vessel sitting on a beam. The vessel weighs 240kip. The vessel is being jacked up...
