I've just had the calcs back from our SE for an RSJ to put in an opening. Nice document which very clearly says what I need to know ... "use a 152 x 89 x 16 UB and mount it in xyz pad stones", and what BC will need to know .... lots of numbers about load factors, buckling resistance, bending moments etc
Coming from a mathamatical, but not engineering, background I'm interested in what these numbers actually mean and how they are calculated. I've googled around and found bits and pieces about it but haven't found one nice clear article that describes it all in one place. Does such an article exist or am I'm looking at getting a book out of the library?
