Selecting Spreader Beam

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 )
