The most commonly available structural steel materials depend on the shape you select.
For W-Shapes, it's A992 (50 ksi yield)and A36 (36 ksi yield) .
For M-Shapes and S-Shapes, A36 and A572 grade 50(50 ksi). NOTE be careful - A572 comes in other grades that have different yields).
etc. See...
And further-furthermore, many loads are applied to the web of the beam, as is the case with simple header connections of secondary framing members into primary.
It should be noted also that there are some specific loading conditions in which the lower flange is directly loaded, such as the...
This question will probably just demonstrate that I have absolutely no understanding of Modeler, but here goes anyways.
Is there an effective way of linking Modeler (microstation/J) profiles that are not in the same plane? Or linking a sketched profile to a feature surface? ie give me...
