He talks to the tiki gods!
OK here is a question for all you back yard engineers.
First let me lay the ground work. i am almost done with my shop, 30 by 50 with 12 foot ceiling. I am at the stage where i would like to buiild a bridge crane before I move every thing inside.
the question
How much weight will a 4 inch tall, 3/8 inch think 29 foot long piece of Jr I beam hold, at its weakest point ( the middle ) before it will fail?
I am trying to determine what kind of steel i would need to build a bridge crane. I have looked on line for specs on steel, but i guess I am not pputting inthe right search criteria.
do any of you guys know? or know where I can find this info?
your helpp is appreciated.
