Design of Beam for Pump Support

Span = 6.5 m
Weight of Pump ( With Impact ) = 5100 kg
Self weight of Girder = 75 kg/m

Max. B.M. (5100 x 6.5/4) + (75 x 6.5^2 /8) = 8683.59 kgm

Z = 8683.59 x 100/1500 = 578.906 cm3

Provide ISMB 400 @ 61.6 kg/m


Zxx = 1022.9 cm3
Ixx = 20458.4 cm4

Check for Deflection


d = Due to pt. load (5100 x 650^3)/(48x2x10^6x20458.4) = 0.713 cm
= Due to UDL (5x0.75 x 650^4)/(384x2x10^6x20458.4) = 0.043 cm
Total deflection = 0.756 cm

Permissible Deflection 650 / 500 = 1.3 cm


> 0.756 safe

Max. Shear Force = 5100 + 75 x 6.5 = 5587.5 kg


Shear stress = 5587.5 / (40-1.6x2)x0.89 = 150.19 kg/cm2
< 1000 safe
