How to do a steel beam calculation

If you like the video why don't you buy us a coffee www.buymeacoffee.com/SECalcs
In this video, we'll look at an example of how we can design a steel beam, checking shear, bending moment capacity and deflection.

Great channel, extremely useful and easy to understand, gold star! ⭐️

[@emmadavies7434]

Very grateful for this tutorial secalcs! Great explanation simple and easy 👏

[@ramen882]

Thank you so much .... Found it so helpful

[@hermannengineering-rf6lo]

this video is very nice please which software are you using to do this video?

[@user-ov4dw3yr5d]

Thanks mate👍

[@mayowasunkanmi4323]

you are doing great here. your videos are very comprehensive and of inestimable value. please could you do a video on the design of gantry cranes?

[@metalrooves3651]

This could be found, if you want to GO AROUND all the math,by looking it up in an allowable load chart..l simply bought an ebay book.they were printed many years.titke is STEELconstruction manual of american institue.of steel construction...the problem for gantries,however ,is you will not be loading it evenly..so there needs to be an adjustment,also laid out in the book.charts are for "uniform"loads,like this vid is a concrete floor...everything is in kips ...not tons.akip is 1000 lb........h

[@user-sd8qg7to2e]

Great 👍

[@LvPatriot1]

Yet another great video. Would be great to see a calculation for the laminated cross section, calculating the shear in each layer to determine the glue capacity. Or even laminated glass beam. Or glass balustrade calculation according to EN 16612. Or Raft foundation. Or wind load calculation for the courtyard of a tall building.

Added to our list. Stay tuned!

how is this any fun?

[@mahmudulislam5293]

Thank you for your detailed explanation. I have a question, from 04:20-06:15 you have determined sectional classification for flange and web. In both cases you have used tf > 16mm, and accordingly used fy value as 345 N/mm^2 to determine the coefficient for sectional classification (epsilon). I was wondering, why not calculate epsilon for flange and web separately, using tw & tf with respective fy values?

[@maggysantana3878]

Thanks for the video. I would like to see the entire calculation for a truss 30M span with reactions. Please. Thanks

[@Irishfan]

I would like to see thess calculations using the US standard of weights and distance and American standards steel sizes!

[@mianiftikharali5963]

Nice

[@gnidnoeled786]

Would you tell us why a structural steel box girder for metro rail transit is joined at a location with in the clear span but near the portal beam support?

[@FiftySixish]

Really great videos, keep it up! You may want to throw in a web buckling check with such a high point load?

[@StructuralEngineerCalcs]

I'll make a video showing how and where to do a web buckling check. Stay tuned!

[@boimah1992]

Hello could you tell me the gadgets you used to make your videos. I admire the illustration.

[@joanessalang821]

what is the beam size required for Ultimate load 100kn and UDL 50kn with 20m span (simply supported beam)

[@kamogelommankgeli3368]

Good day,i have a question how do we assume the weight of the beam is that's one of the properties that we are actually looking for

[@leo.raffael8598]

Kindly, share with us a lot how to design a beam for a steel, which reality can be used (constructed)

[@saiahandymanmaitenance936]

Can you please calculate a I beam for distance post 9miter . Please thanks

[@ajmalvmohammed219]

❤️

[@jonnyb1795]

Still learning, trying to figure out what beam to use on a 50’ free span . Help please

[@kabur88]

Should do a video where the beam isn't plastic but either semi-compact or slender

[@genie9262]

Was working on a problem similar to this some days ago, doesn't the maximum moment occur at a diff location from the middle of the beam because of the extra applied load at the middle ? Please I need clarifications ✌

[@LvPatriot1]

I think that you need to look for the BMD(bending moment diagrams) and you will get your answer.

Great job please is it possible to do a study for 2d portal frame with crane and wind load on sap or other similer structural programs

[@StructuralEngineerCalcs]

Thank you for your interest in our content! While I can't provide a definite answer about covering the topic of a study for a 2D portal frame with crane and wind load on SAP or similar structural programs in the future, we appreciate your suggestion. We take all suggestions into consideration when planning our future videos. If you have any other specific topics or requests related to structural engineering. please feel free to let us know, and we will do our best to address them. We value your feedback and appreciate your support.

Hello.Yours videos are impresive.Can you please you to make video how to design tapered steel beam and column according ec. Please and tankyou.

[@StructuralEngineerCalcs]

Thank you for your comment. We appreciate your interest in our channel. I understand that you would like us to make a video on designing tapered steel beams & columns based on the EN code. We will do our best to cover this topic in the near future. Our goal is to provide informative & educational content to our viewers, and we'll make sure to include this topic in our upcoming videos. Thank you for your support!

[@dokalibelhaj8911]

Hello, the weight is 5.5 tons per meter. Which type of iron can bear this weight? Thank you

[@Baradewa10]

Could you please make the same video but for columns.

[@bienramos7587]

You didn't consider the uniform load on deflection?

[@partimefilmaker3939]

Please Where did you get 1.35 from in calculating beam self weight?

[@shahmi98]

Eurocode 1.35*Gk + 1.5*Qk

[@Droningonuk]

Not gonna lie you lost me about 9 seconds in😂

[@johnwealthy6044]

Where dis the 1.35 come from in the UDL equation at 1:10?

[@tarkklc4039]

Im also curious about that. Really where did the 1.35 come from?

[@andersonlinesway3375]

@@tarkklc4039 Its the safety factor for stationary loads

Please review the subtitles, it looks wrong. Thank you for the video.

Design a 6 meter cantilever steel beam having a point load of 10 KN at the free end according to British standard.. thanks

[@michaelacheampong2869]

The Moment = PL (hogging moment at the support) is M = 6m x 10kN= 60kNm , then Sxx (Plastic Modulus) = 60x 10^6 /275=218.1818 x 10^3 mm3 =218cm3 .Now use this modulus to check the steel table and choose your member. So from the table U can choose 203 x 133 x 25kg/m (258cm3) or 254 x 102 x 22kg/m (259cm3). of these two sections the second one(254 x 102 x 22kg/m) is better becuase it is deeper and lighter i.e. 22kg/m vs 25kg/m of the first section .

[@metalrooves3651]

I could figure it out but the metric throws me..
