Structural engineering question -- maximum load taken by beam

AI Thread Summary
The maximum load for a UB 610 x 229 x 125Kg/m beam spanning 5 meters depends on various factors, including allowable bending and local building codes. The beam is intended for roofing, which requires careful consideration of load-bearing capacity. It's essential to consult a structural engineer to ensure compliance with regulations and proper design. Beams typically bend before breaking, making it crucial to understand the limits of deflection. Professional guidance is recommended for accurate load calculations and safety.

dear all ,

My question is what is the maximum load taken by beam of UB 610 x 229 x 125Kg/m for a span of 5 mtr?
its supported on both side by anchoring on concrete beam.

Welcome to the PF.

What is the application? What is your background in ME?

Beams bend before they break. In order to calculate the max load you typically need to know how much you can allow the beam to bend. Local codes/regulations vary a lot so it's one thing to know the maximum load a beam can carry and another knowing if the design meets local code/regulations. I don't pretend to know enough to design roof beams - we hired a Structural Engineer to design the beams in our roof.

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

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

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
