Steel I - Beam Calculation Note Steel I - Beam Calculation Note

This document summarizes the design of a steel I-beam for a project. It provides dimensions and material properties of the beam, defines concentrated and distributed loads, calculates reactions and moments, and checks that the beam meets requirements for deflection, strength, and buckling under different load combinations. Calculations show the beam has sufficient strength, stiffness, and meets all checking criteria.
