I would like to know how to calculate UB sections for a beam with a UDL (fully restrained) and a beam with only a point load (only restrained at the connections) by considering bending strength and shear strength and deflection - calcultions and information
How do i calculate bending,shear strength and deflection?

Best to take a 4yr degree course in something like Civil Engineering then work for a small consultancy for a couple of years..
Or read BS5950
art1 for more detailed information on bending moment/deflection design..Let me explain... I've already done the 4year degree course thanks but Miss Hood, our degree student actually posted the question as she has some coursework on this subject. I reckoned Shytalkz or someone equally talented could answer this question much better than I could.

they only look at the calcs... if they even do that. and no such thing as a registered se.... but your calcs must work......
they are not that stupid..........

depends on what standard you are designing for.....
as you should know... there are many.
The guys who built this bridge ought to know (or perhaps they didn't)

Either way for a potential student, the study of what went wrong here is bound to be a good starting point.

There are several calculations to be done, in a set order and it's not a 5 minute thing to explain to someone who is not conversant with beam design
IIRC, the Chudley construction handbook (standard text for students) has a few pages on basic beam design, and for more in depth information, there is a book by Draycot - Structural Elements Design Manual. If you have access to the ihs technical indices at work/college, then both are downloadable from there

This might help: Page 78 onwards...

And this for section capacities / properties etc

Don't understand why you can't satisfactorily answer the question if you've done a four year degree in engineering?
