How much weight can you put on a 2 x 6 supported at each end?

It depends both on the type of wood you're using, and what is weighing down the ends.


What is the advantage and disadvantages of fixed beams?

There isn't really an advantage of having a fixed beam vs. a simply supported beam, it depends on what application the beam is for. If one of the design criteria of the beam is that it be able to deflect from one end to another then you are going to want to use a fixed beam. For example such applications could include a diving bored. A simply supported beam differs from a fixed beam because the beam is supported at both ends. Thus when a simply supported beam is loaded, the deflection will occur throughout the beam, since the ends are confined and will remain as they were. Furthermore on a fixed beam, (the end that is fixed) will have restrictive forces and moments keeping the end from moving.


How is a cantilever different from a fully supported beam?

A supported beam has both ends of the beam resting on a support. A cantilever has a single support often hinged close to or at one end with the other end supported in another manner.


What is the allowable span and weight load for a 2 by 6 by 10 Douglas fir?

More information is needed: Is this a 2" x 6" 10 feet in length? Is this for a floor, deck, roof or what? Is this supported on both ends or cantilevered? Is this for interior or exterior?


How much weight will a four inch tall X 2 inch wide with a one quarter section steel tube five foot long supported on both ends hold in the middle without bending?

That depends... on the composition of the steel !


What is the name given to the shape of a sagging rope supported at its ends?

The name given to the shape of a sagging rope supported at its ends is a catenary.


What is common about the location of the maximum moment along the beam in each loading case?

It is the center of the beam, if the beam is supported at both ends.


What is propped simply supported beam?

A cantilever beam is a beam which is fixed at one end ( no translation or rotation). A propped cantilever beam is a beam which is fixed at one end ( no translation or rotation) and simply supported ( no translation) at the other end. A cantilever beam is a beam which is fixed at one end ( no translation or rotation). A simply supported beam is a beam which is simply supported at both ends. A propped simply supported beam is a beam which is simply supported at both ends and simply supported at some other point such as at the center, to reduce deflection under load. Propped beams are statically indeterminate.


What is the difference between a beam fixed at both ends and a cantilever beam?

A cantilever has only one end or point fixed; this is an obvious difference between having two points or both ends fixed. The nature of bending moment is same throughout the span in the case of a cantilever beam whereas a fixed beam has both types of nature, i.e. sagging as well as hogging.


When you hang a weight from the center of a beam which is supported at both ends what stress do you induce on the beam and where?

The stress you induce on the beam is equal to weight hanging on the beam. The answer for the where part of the question is in the question. You said it yourself; you hang the weight from the center of the beam, therefore the stress of the weight will be in the center of the beam.


What is load bearing capacity of horizontal 2x4x8?

Nothing. A 2x4 laid flat and supported on its ends that are 8 feet apart cannot even support its own weight.


What are the different between simply supported restrained beam and simply supported unrestrained beam?

because the deflection in simple suported beam is more due to the orestriction at the ends as the ends are freely supported by twoo supports
