Straight Beams With Constant Cross-Section Spreadsheet
Professional tools for calculations and dimensioning of mechanical engineering problems using Excel spreadsheets.
Flexural members are slender members that deform primarily by bending moments caused by concentrated couples or transverse forces. In modern construction, these members may be joists, beams, girders, spandrels, lintels, and other specially named elements. But their behavior in every case is essentially the same.
Built-up members are used in many structures, such as compression members of trusses or supporting columns. They are composed from two rolled U-sections or four rolled angles. … They are used in the present study, the aim of which is to elaborate the optimum design of such structural parts.
Small projections attached to, or built into, heavy components. The lugs have an opening in the center to which cables can be attached for lifting. Lifting lugs are in the construction of storage tanks and multi-grade dispensers
