Cross sectional shape I, giving many benefits. It is very good for giving stiffness(less deformation on loading) and to withstand higher bending moments(as a result of heavy loading) on comparison with other cross-sectional shapes of same area. Also, it is very easy to manufacture.

It will have more moment of inertia due to the distance of the flange from the centroidal axis and it have zeron eccentricity about one axis and the centrer of gravity lies inside the web.

What is the difference between a beam and a bar?

Beam can take transvesr loading and bar only axial loading


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.


How do you know if it is a load bearing wall?

A wall without column structure. The wall itself support the loading from the upper floor. In conventional structure, the column support the loading from the upper beam and transfer it to the lower beam.


Where does the maximum bending moment occur in a simply supported beam?

It depends on the loading conditions of the beam, it will generally occur close to the middle of the span.


How does point loading affect beam sizing versus uniform loading with point load in center of beam?

The moment of a beam is twice that for central load vs uniform load for a simple support beam; hence it needs twice the section modulus for sizing; for fixed ends the moment is 50% higher for central load vs uniform load


What light beam should you use when driving at night in a heavy fog?

fog light and/or low beam


An uniformly distributed load is one which?

A uniformly distributed load is one which the load is spread evenly across the full length of the beam (i.e. there is equal loading per unit length of the beam).


What is out of plane bending in beams?

If the beam bends such that the plane of the loading is parallel to axis of the beam passing through its center of gravity then the bending is known as in-plane bending. Otherwise due to effects of twisting and lateral forces perpendicular to the plane of loading then it is called out-of-plane bending B Venkata Reddy MREC, Hyderabad


Why is the beam of light from a flashlight that is shining in heavy fog straight?

scattered light


What is the different between steel joist and steel girder?

A girder is the primary horizontal member carying loads from other beams and slabs connected to it. That is a girder has other beams connecting to it on its sides .Typically beams do not have other beams connecting to it but generally have only slabs transferring the loads to it. The case is similar to beam and joist combination where the closely spaced joists (floor joist and ceiling joist) transfer the loads to the beam but usually from the top rather than from the sides.


How does the relative important of bending and shearing stresses vary with the loading position of the beam?

i need the answer too..plesase anyone help me with that..now,asap


Should you use high-beam headlights to see and be seen even in a foggy situation?

No, you should not use high-beam headlights at all in heavy fog.
