Faris Abualshamat Beam Design

The document discusses the design of steel beams. Key points covered include: 1) Beams are designed to resist internal forces from applied loads, which create stresses like bending, flexure, and shear. 2) Section properties and allowable capacities from standards like AISC are used to design beams for the critical shear forces and bending moments. 3) Bracing is important to prevent buckling from compression forces introduced by bending of the beam.

Beam Design:
This whole lecture was about the design of beam. I have learned all the necessary things required to
design the beams. There are multiple examples I solved to get the concept of the beam design. The
beams are designed to resist the internal forces (axial, shear and moment) developed due to applied
loading. The stresses (flexural, bending and shear) are developed directly under the load. Bearing plates
are used to transfer the load to beam uniformly. The span to depth ration is very important in the beam
design. In order to avoid buckling and instability, we use bracing. The shear and flexure formula’s used
to design the beam. The tension in the beam occurs at the top surface and the compression occurs at
the bottom of the beam. In steel, we check the allowable design capacity should be greater than the
actual stresses. The section properties of the beam play an important role in designing of the beam
whether it is T beam, I beam, etc. in designing of the beam the shear stresses are very less as compared
to the bending stresses. The steel beams maybe Hot Rolled or built up members. We use AISC manual to
check the properties and allowable capacity of the beam cross section.

The steel beams are most economical for industrial purpose. Structural steel can either be designed by
Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and Allowable Stress Design (ASD). Both methods yield similar
results. Engineers have their opinions about the pros and cons of each method, but both are currently
allowed in the United States. Simply choose the method you would like to use. For the load acting on
the beam, the analysis is done to find the shear forces and bending moments at critical sections of the
beam. And these critical sections are used to design the beam. Bracing is an incredibly important, yet
often overlooked aspect of beam design. When a member is bent, tension and compression forces are
introduced. For a simple span beam (one spanning between two pinned supports), the top of the beam
will be in compression. It is these compression forces that can cause a beam to buckled out-of-plane.
Deflection is an important measure of beam performance. Beams that have excessive deflection can be
strong enough to carry their design loads, but perform poorly in service.
