I Beam Calculation Sheet

Formula D=L/360

Enter "L" 192 Length of I beam in inches

Maximum I Beam Deflection is 0.533333 inch for length of I beam

Formula s=0.55*36,000

Maximum I Beam Bending Stress is 19800 psi

Formula w=W*L

Enter "W" weight of supported structure is 50 psf (Live+Dead Load)

"L" 16 Length of I beam in feet

w= 800

Formula M=w*L^2/8

Maximum I Beam Bending Moment is 307200 in. lbs.

Formula S=M/s

Section Modulus for required I Beam is 15.51515 in.^3

Formula I=(5*w*L^4)/(384*30000000*D)*1728

Moment of Inertia for required I Beam is 73.728 in.^4

Results: Comparing Section Modulus and Moment of Inertia with charts from
"The American Institute of Steel Construction Manual" gives a good match as: 10 I 25.4
I=122.1
S=24.4
