I am trying to determine the weight capacity of a steel storage shelf i am making. The shelf will be 119in long with a 10in upright every 37in. The shelf will be made out of 2x2x1/4 HSS. In order tod etermine how much it can hold, do i determine how much each 10in column can support with a force straight down?
if doing that i determined the reactions at each upright for one side,
R1= 2/5WL
R2= 1.1WL
R3= 1.1WL
R4= 2/5WL
W= max uniform load applied (unknown)
L= length (37in)
Just curious if I am doing this correctly or if I am forgetting about something.
thanks in advance!
