Wide Flange Steel I Beam |
Single Span
|
Two Equal Spans
|
Three Equal Spans
|
Four Equal Spans
For a simply supported beam in two equal spans, we compute the displacement at the middle of each span
and the maximum normal stress
occuring at the center support of the beam.
The tabulated data listed in this page are calculated based on the area moment of inertia (Ixx = 6280 in4) for the W27 × 161 Wide Flange Steel I Beam and the typical Young's modulus (E = 3.046 × 107 psi) of steels. Note that the typical yielding stress
of steels can range from 1.015 × 104 to 2.970 × 105 psi. The purpose of this page is to give a rough estimation of the load-bearing capacity of this particular beam, rather than a guideline for designing actual building structures. Please check your local building codes for regulatory requirements.
