Hi all
Could someone confirm me
A 2400mm rectangular steel tube in 100mm x 50mm x 5mm
fixed at its 2 ends and placed flat on the 100mm.
Could support a load of 200kg spread over the entire length
Thank you for the possibility of your answers
Hello, the conclusion of chat gpt:
-
- Conclusion, no blah blah blah
Under the classic assumptions:
- simple support at the ends,
- standard non-rotten steel,
- no large drilling or corrosion,
- static load, well distributed,
Yes, sir, a 100×50×5 tube on 2.4 m laid flat can support 200 kg distributed without any problem,
with low stress (~26 MPa) and moderate deflection (~3 mm).
If it is for a critical use (people, standards, etc.), you will still need a real regulatory calculation signed by a design office. I don't sign anything, I just do the maths.
Hello;
To get a better idea, you can use the site:
https://builder-calc.com/fr/structures/calcul-de-la-fleche-et-de-la-resistance-dune-poutre-calculateur-en-ligne.html
It allows you to do this type of bending calculation on a horizontal beam...
