Calculate weight on beam

[justusandersson]

I have counted on 2 meters.

What was the deflection then?

 

[justusandersson]

Approx. 2 mm.

Insert an I-beam, 150mm is sufficient.

Put in an I-beam, 150mm is sufficient

Exciting suggestion for profile height, where can one find this?

A 2-meter-long I-beam, 150x150mm with 1cm thickness, can hold 1000 tons without bending.

A 2-meter long I-beam, 150x150mm with 1cm thickness supports 1000 tons without buckling.

I haven't encountered a square IPE 150 in my professional life, and it seems to have an incredible load-bearing capacity.

Cut some last week? Now I am a pipe welder, but try placing a normal house on a thick I-beam, do you think it will bend? 1000 tons might have been an exaggeration, but the point is that the material is sufficient to support several houses.

A square profile is most often called vkr, kkr, or welded box cross-section. An I-beam is an IPE profile or can mean HEA/HEB/HEM or a welded I-cross-section. It was probably the choice of terminology that the previous post mostly dealt with.
