Hydrostatic force acting on beam

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the forces acting on bolts in a water tank column designed with two unequal angle steel sections. The user seeks to confirm if an M10 bolt is strong enough for this application, noting that the water load does not significantly affect the bolts. It is suggested that both angles will move together, implying the bolts do not prevent this movement. Additionally, the importance of analyzing maximum shear and bending stresses at the fixed end of the beam is highlighted. Understanding these stresses is crucial for ensuring the structural integrity of the design.

Attached is the problem i am trying to get to grips with along with my current line of understanding,

The column seen is a side section slice from the design of a water tank.

The column is designed to take the load of the water.

The column is designed with 2 unequal angle 75x50x6 steel sections.

These sections are bolted together using m10 bolts at the distances shown in the attachment.

I am trying to find the forces acting on the bolts in order to confirm a m10 bolt is stong enough.

Is my line of thought right here?
Or am I missing something alltogether?

The water doesn't impose any significant load on the bolts. Both angles want to move together the same amount and the bolts don't do anything to prevent that movement.
 
Depends on what your bolts are bolted up to.

The other thing you can do is look at the stresses in the beam. Find your maximum shear and bending stress, which is at the fixed end.
 
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'
Here is a photo of a rough drawing of my apparatus that I have built many times and works. I would like to have a formula to give me the RPM necessary for the gyroscope to balance itself on the two legs (screws). I asked Claude to give me a formula and it gave me the following: Let me calculate the required RPM foreffective stabilization. I'll use the principles of gyroscopicprecession and the moment of inertia. First, let's calculate the keyparameters: 1. Moment of inertia of...
