A manufacturing company (Company X) that manufactures rigging equipment such as steel wire rope, lifting chains, synthetic slings…etc, outsources all their equipment load testing jobs to external clients. Company X is looking to perform all equipment load testing in-house. To accommodate the expansion, the owner decides to utilize existing equipment which consists of an overhead I-beam (10m long, 553 x 210 x 138) and hoist.

Sketch a free-body diagram of the simply supported beam with loads applied. By assessing the sketch, evaluate the slope and deflection on the beam when the maximum load is lifted, By using the data from the attached excel file “LO2 Data” 2. Determine the suitability of this beam for the given application If the maximum allowable deflection is set at 23mm.

Question

A manufacturing company (Company X) that manufactures rigging equipment such as steel wire rope,
lifting chains, synthetic slings…etc, outsources all their equipment load testing jobs to external clients.
Company X is looking to perform all equipment load testing in-house. To accommodate the expansion, the
owner decides to utilize existing equipment which consists of an overhead I-beam (10m long, 553 x 210 x
138) and hoist. As an Engineer, he has requested your assistance to determine if the existing beam is
capable of performing the intended function, if not, advise on a suitable beam for the task.


1. Sketch a free-body diagram of the simply supported beam with loads applied. By assessing the sketch,
evaluate the slope and deflection on the beam when the maximum load is lifted, By using the data from
the attached excel file “LO2 Data”
2. Determine the suitability of this beam for the given application If the maximum allowable deflection is
set at 23mm.
