Thank you!

Thank you guys for your explanations. I am aware of the fact that section modulus it for computing maximum stress within elastic limit. However 1. As elastic modulus is also dependant on the area distribution and distance from the neutral axis ,it quantifies the ' resistance' of the beam to...

Thank you!

Hi everyone! Please help, I have spent some considerable time to understand the two concepts and still this is nagging at me... I am relating to Structural Engineering, just to let you know guys. My question is .. Moment of inertia is about distribution of mass, the further away from the axis...

Thank you every one for you answers. they were very helpful

Homework Statement [/B] This represents simply supported beam resting on two columns. Two uniformly distributed loads act on the beam. What is the distance taken by each column in this case? The Attempt at a Solution I calculated reaction forces. I have bending and shear forces diagrams. I do...

Sorry, I rounded the numbers up a bit. So you are saying that I should take it from bending moment? From the elevation it looks like this Should I take the point from the bending moment? Elevation view looks like this

Thank you for your reply. Yes the 7m is in X direction ( not really relevant), the 8 m beam is in Y direction. I was given a task to determine load area on each column. In X direction the distance of the imposed load that each column carries is 3.5 m(half the distance because the load is the...

Hi everyone.I would really appreciate if someone would help me with determination of floor load on columns (column tributary area). Normally uniformly distributed load acting on a beam is halved and each half-load is allocated to one column supporting the beam. In this case however, there is...
