Consider calculating the weight of a steel I-beam before overloading a structure. Steel I-beam's are too large and heavy for a conventional scale, but their weight can be determined mathematically with a few measurements. The weight of a steel beam depends on its volume and the weight dens...
Calculate the width of the abutment by adding the distance from center to center of all the beams to the distance from the center of the outside beams to the outside edge of the bearings. Add at least a 2" buffer to this total plus the width of an expansion joint, if needed. For t...
