Question

A simply supported beam is held up by two collumns. What is the best way to show that the collumns can support the beam?

I have the yield strength and cross sectional area, so I know I can find the yield stress.

Would Shear Stress be used? Its been a while since. The height of the collumns doesn't play a factor at all does it?

The formula I was thiking about using for safety factor was: Safety Factor = Yield Strength/ (2*Max Shear strees)

Should I be using a different kind of stress then yield stresss? Wen is yield stress used?

1.We can know that column can support the simply supported beam by bending moment diagram and shear force diagram.

2.Divide yield strength by Area and then you will get yield stress.

3.No shear stress will not be used. Yes height of column doesn't play a part untill a bracket is attached at the end.

4.In case of torsional load Yield stress is used and if torsional load is not there then ultimate tensile strength is used.
