Selecting Spreader Beam Check Beam For ES/EEC 1 Compression Stress

1. The document provides information to select a spreader beam to support a total weight of 11023 lbs. 2. A seamless pipe with a 6" diameter and 0.339" wall thickness is selected. 3. Calculations are shown to check the compression and bending stresses in the beam and it is determined that the stresses are less than the allowable stresses based on the material properties. Therefore, the selected beam is adequate.

Check beam for ES/EEC


1 COMPRESSION STRESS

Wgt tot = 11023 lbs 5000 kg


safety factor = 1.5 times
Wgt tot = 16535 lbs
Y c.g = 48.82 in
Ytot = 98 in 2480 mm
b1 = 60.0 o

b2 = 60.0 o
b1 b2
h = 10.20 in

Fc1 Fc2
h

W1 W2
L =Ytot

Beam selected : Seamless Pipe 6" SCH XXS YC.G


Properties :
r xx = 0.339 in
r yy = 0.221 in
C.G
A = 9.85 in^2
Sx = 28.792 in^3
Material : A106 Gr.B Sy = 36000 psi

W1 = ((Ytot-Yc.g)/ Ytot)*Wgt tot = 8267.3348 lbs


W2 = (Yc.g/ Ytot)*Wgt tot = 8267.3348 lbs

Fc1 = W1/ tan (b1) = 4773 lbs = Fc2


Fc = Fc1 = Fc2 4773 lbs

Compression Stress : fa = Fc/A = 484.72 psi

kL/r= 353.025 , Allowable stress From AISC table 3-31 :

Fa = 1157 psi , hence fa < Fa , ( OK)

5.2 BENDING STRESS

M1 = Fc1*h = 48686 lb.in = M2

M = M1 48686 lb.in

Stress due to moment fb = M/Sx = 1691 psi


Bending stress allowable : Fb = 0.66*Sy = 23760 psi, hence fb < Fb ( O K )
Cm = 1
F'ex = 1196.2 psi

Unity Check :

Checking against AISC (equation H1-1)

fa/Fa + Cmx*fbx/((1-fa/F'ex)*Fbx) + Cmy*fby/((1-fa/F'ey)*Fby) = 0.538632 < 1 ( O K )

Checking against AISC (equation H1-2)

fa/0.6Sy + fbx/Fbx + fby/Fby = 0.09360925 < 1 ( O K )
