Understanding Steel Beams
Steel beam design requires careful consideration of multiple factors.
- Section Properties Moment of inertia and section modulus.
- Loading Conditions Different load types and positions.
- Support Types Affects beam behavior.
- Stress Limits AISC requirements.
Design Considerations
Strength
Load capacity.
Serviceability
Deflection limits.
Stability
Lateral support.
Economy
Section efficiency.
Steel Properties
- Grade Material strength.
- Elasticity Deformation behavior.
- Ductility Failure mode.
- Durability Corrosion resistance.
