Hi All,
Just to preface, I'm a Mechanical Engineer by profession and not a structural engineer. I would like to get some feedback from all you structural experts on a particular concern as outlined below:
I have also attached an image for clarity.
What I have is a platform 3' wide running down the length of a 24' long W10X39 beam. The continuous load for the platform is 155 lbs/linear.ft. Right now, I have 4 of the shown supports evenly spaced within the 24' beam span. The support consists of a C6X6.2 channel attached to the beam as shown with (1) 3x3x3/16 angle. Is this method considered safe and economical from a structural engineers standpoint? Or is there another more efficient and cost effective method?
The 1400 lbs shown is the concentrated load calculated for such a condition for the (2) center supports of the 24' beam span.
I thank you all in advance for any comments and feedback.
Best Regards,
CSCPE24.
