Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Select steel material data: choose E, yield strength, and document sources quickly.
- Analyse beams: draw shear and moment diagrams and locate peak bending stress.
- Compute deflection: apply cantilever formulae, units, and serviceability limits.
- Evaluate safety: compare stress to yield, apply safety factors, and judge risk.
- Propose quick fixes: tweak geometry, material, or stiffeners to reduce deflection.
