Monorail

The document provides the results of a monorail beam analysis for a W12x50 beam with a 17 foot simple span and 3 foot overhang. Key parameters and loadings are input. The analysis calculates support reactions, bending moments, stresses, and deflections for the simple span and overhang. All calculated stresses and deflections are found to be within allowable limits.
