I am trying to find Aluminum rectangular tubing that is about 4" x 2" and has a generous wall thickness. I would prefer 6061-T6, however at this point any type and temper would do.
Does anyone out there have a material data sheet for someting meeting these specs. I am guessing that the...
Does anyone have an aluminum design manual? I have an American Std. Structureal Aluminum Channel C4x2.16. I am looking for the Area, radius of gyration about weak axis, moment of inertia and possibly an allowable axial column load at 3ft of length.
This information would be greatly...
I have an application where a T-section is going to be a vertical column. I am driving two 5/8" bolts through the flange on both sides of the web directly into a vertical concrete wall as shown below.

Riggit Tony,
B30.20 refers to "below the hook" lifting devices for attaching loads to a hoist. This unfortunately does not cover the hoisting beam itself.

johmue,
When using CMAA #74 to calculate the concentrated stresses due to trolley wheels, do you add that stress to the stress in the tension flange, or is it treated separately? You stated above that they shoule be considered separately, but are they then combined? I don't see how the...
Bolts in the AISC Manual of Steel Construction show allowable tension in kips in tables 1-A and 1-B in Part 4. What is a common safety factor used for structural bolts used in lifting beams that make less than 500 lifts in their lifetime.
Nick,
Thank you for clarifying my misconception on grain boundary movement. However I still believe that there is some phenomenon present when it comes to large deflections. I believe that some beams can theoretically be stressed below the endurance limit and still fail due to excessive...
What I am concerned about is the movement of the grain boundaries on the microscopic level. When a beam deflects past a certain point, I believe that it is no longer just stressing the beam, but that the grain boundaries are slipping and breaking as well. And if you bend past a certain point...
The only problem there chicopee is that when you are designing a 20ton lifting beam, it is not feasible to assign a factor of safety of 5 so that it theoretically holds 100tons. The cost of steel would be outrageous.
Excellent,
That is exactly what I had done, my intermediate stiffener 'leaks over' the edge of the bottom flange of the W14x30 and is welded to the top of the S10.
Like this, I hope it shows up the way I made it

bjb,
Can you field weld a 3/8" plate to the flanges of the channels so as to create a boxed section around the concrete at the same locations that you would place the bolts? I'm not saying box in the entire column, but just boxing the areas for about 8" sections at each location of the would...

It sounds to me that I could possibly have the top flange of an S10x25.4 bolted to the bottom flange of two W14x30 beams, and add intermediate stiffeners to the W14x30 beams directly above the bolted connections, and have that translationally and torsionally restrain the W14x30 and the...
Thank you all.
The most common practice I see for providing lateral support during erection is using a seated connection from the end of the lateral support to the web of the beam in question, with the depth of the connection being approximately 3/4 the web depth, which would provide resistance...
Sorry MotorCity but that made a whole lot of no sense to me. I have an S10x25.4 that spans 21.5ft and is lifting 5000lbs. It needs a lateral support at midspan to be capable of this while having a safety factor of 1.5 based off of Fb from AISC ASD. I will most likely use a double angle to...
