Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Select steel properties efficiently: pick modulus E, yield strength, and note sources quickly.
- Analyse beams thoroughly: sketch shear and moment diagrams, identify maximum bending stress.
- Calculate deflections accurately: use cantilever equations, check units, and meet service limits.
- Assess safety margins: contrast stresses against yield, factor in safety, and evaluate risks.
- Suggest effective tweaks: adjust shape, material, or add stiffeners to reduce deflection.
