See the instructions within the documentation for more details on performing this analysis.
Steel tube column load calculator.
Vehicle load is a static distributed load in the middle of the longest tube and is 1 3 the tube length.
Square tube assumes bending with one side parallel to the load think square vs diamond.
See the reference section for details on the equations used.
Area of the cross section is specific to the beam section selected and is defaulted to the values.
The calculator can be utilized by anyone that knows the loading criteria of their application and whether the tube will be used as a beam or column.
Steel wood and concrete beam calculator of course it is not always possible or practical to derive a closed form solution for some beam configurations.
Length of beam is the total including all spans of the beam in mm or ft.
Euler s column formula buckling of columns.
This specification forms welded carbon steel tubing in round square and rectangular shapes.
Result will be displayed.
If the deflection is large enough to permanently bend the tube then all bets are off.
This calculator will compute the acceptable allied galvanized steel tubing product size based on length and load criteria.
Beam loads support force calculator calculate beam load and supporting forces.
The properties of the beam and section are specified by typing directly into the input fields.
Loading in the middle of the longest tube is a worst case for stress on a cage member.
Concrete columns estimate concrete volume required for concrete columns.
The column buckling calculator allows for buckling analysis of long and intermediate length columns loaded in compression.
If you have a steel wood or concrete beam with complex boundary conditions and loads you re better off solving the problem numerically with one of our finite element analysis tools.
The moduli of elasticity used are 29 700 000 psi for steel and 10 000 000 psi for aluminum.
The steel weights are tweaked for mechanical tubing and will be less accurate for structural tubing.
Calculating beam deflection requires knowing the stiffness of the beam and the amount of force or load that would influence the bending of the beam.
He a steel beams properties of he a profiled.
Calculate deflection for solid rectangular beams calculate deflection for hollow rectangular beams calculate deflection for solid round beams calculate deflection for round tube beams.
This square tubing deflection calculator calculates tube deflection for square based on length of beam tube size decimal gauge and load.
Beam deflection calculators solid rectangular beams hollow rectangular beams solid round beams enter value and click on calculate.
We can define the stiffness of the beam by multiplying the beam s modulus of elasticity e by its moment of inertia i the modulus of elasticity depends on the beam s material.
The loading can be either central or eccentric.
Astm a500 is the common steel specification used for hollow structural tubes.
Stiffness of the beam.
