Thanks for all the replies! I ran some shear stress calcs on a few I Beams, I think I’m headed in the right direction. I’ll reach out if the project goes further. Thanks, again.
Trying to determine what the I beam can handle. The floor is good. What is the maximum load the I beam can handle before buckling? I want to support a 5,000 lb steel box with (2) I beams underneath it.
Trying to determine the maximum load capacity of an I Beam that is fully supported underneath the entire length of the beam (ie. trying to find out the maximum weight that the I beam will hold). Is there a table or are calculations required.
