Hello,
I have such a problem. I have an I-beam 120 from St3s steel which I want to mount on two supports spaced 4m apart. It loads the beam with a constant load of 2.3 tonnes.
I count the maximum bending moment according to the formula: gl ^ 2/8 and it goes out 46000Nm
Wx for this I-beam is 0.0000547 m ^ 3
So I'm counting Mgmax / Wx and some 840Mpa comes out. Max for St3s steel is around 145Mpa.
My question is: do I count it right? I don't want to believe in such a result.
Regards !
EDIT
I check the units and I think I know where I made the mistake: for q I should take 5750N / m, right?
