Hi,
I'm not a structural engineer. I went to school for welding engineering and in my statics and strength of materials course we did discuss something along the lines of this.
I have a span of 36ft that I am trying to figure out what size I-beam I would need to support 3000lb. I know there was a formula to get this figure I just can't remember or find it. Any help would be appreciated. The 36 ft beam would be welded to 2 uprights say 1/4" 4x4 sq tube and the tubing would be anchored into the concrete.
I do not have access to Solid works as my work primarily consists of using Codeware Compress and building ASME pressure vessels but I do remember doing FEA analysis on similar stuff like this.
Thank you
