Formula for Vertical column +eccentric loading

AI Thread Summary
To analyze a vertical C-Channel column under eccentric loading, it is essential to calculate the principal moments of inertia due to the asymmetrical nature of the section. A clear diagram illustrating the loading position on the column is necessary for accurate assistance. Understanding the eccentricity of the load is crucial for determining the resulting stresses and deflections. Proper calculations will help ensure structural integrity under the specified loading conditions. Accurate representation and calculations are key to addressing the challenges of eccentric loading on vertical columns.

hi,

can anyone help me with the formula for a vertical Column (C-Channel) subjected to Eccentric Loading?

Regards,

m sorry... COLUMNS ARE VERTICAL...

:-)
 
Since your section is not symmetric you need to start by drawing the section and calculating the principal moments of inertia.

Then you need to present a section showing the position of the loading to anyone trying to help.

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
