- Looking for some answers, and some easier sources for the info on layman's numbers for HSS Square Tubing strengths.
Hi there,
I am very new to the forum, but the reason I ended up here in the first place, is that I was trying to find some working strengths, specifically on 4"x4"x.188" HSS Square Tubing(A500). I would like to know what the max point load that an 8'L resting on 7'W supports(leaving 6" at each end) could handle before breaking? From that point, I will use the number to get the 5:1 design factor required, and potentially a 10:1, if needed in the future.
Thanks in advance!
