Support Beams

Beryllium is used as an alloying agent in producing beryllium copper, which is extensively used for springs, electrical contacts, spot-welding electrodes, and non-sparking tools. It is applied as a structural material for high-speed aircraft, missiles, spacecraft, and communication satellites. Other uses include windshield frame, brake discs, support beams, and other structural components of the space shuttle. 

High temperature lines that grow due to thermal expansion are supported by shoes welded or strapped to the bottom of the pipe at the pipe support locations. Insulated lines must have insulation breaks at the support or be supported by shoes. Large-diameter lines are often used to support smaller lines at locations in between the supports by miming a support beam attached to two larger-sized lines below the smaller lines.

The simply supported beam has a load applied centrally. The upper skin go into compression while the lower one goes into tension, and a uniform bending curve will develop. However, this happens only if the shear rigidity or shear modulus of the cellular core is sufficiently high. If this is not the case, both skins will deflect as independent members, thus eliminating the load-bearing capability of the plastic composite structure.

Front wails are 30 ft by 10 ft (9.1 m by 3.0 m) between supports, a 3 to 1 ratio. Therefore the front wall will be analyzed as a one way simply supported beam, spanning vertically between the grade beam and the roof beam. 

Main process area pipe racks and interconnecting pipe racks (located in process areas and supporting piping only) should be fireproofed from their bases up to and including the first-level pipe support beams for a 1- to 2-hour rating (see Figure 8-6).

This is discussed in standard tests on elasticity, and the anisotropic case in Lekhnitskii171. The simplest assumption is that of the Bernoulli-Euler theory in which plane sections remain plane and Poisson contraction is ignored. Young s modulus measured by the deflection of a simply supported beam under three point bending is given by... 

If, after reading these rules, you conclude that the best place for a balance is in a special room by itself, you are right. Such a room ideally should be windowless, with one separate, shielded entry and filtered, baffled vents. The room should be small, with support beam walls and very heavy benchtops, and should be maintained consistently at 20°C. 

Supporting beams are used to stiffen the trays, and the trays must be fastened securely to prevent movement caused by gas surges. To allow for thermal expansion and to facilitate installation, slotted bolt holes should be provided in the supporting rings, and there should be adequate clearance between the tray and shell wall. 

The number of valve caps that can be fitted on a tray is at best an estimate unless a detailed tray layout is prepared. However, a standard has evolved for low- and moderate-pressure operations a 3 x 2 y2 in pattern that is the tightest arrangement available, accommodating about 14caps/ft2 (150 caps/m2). The active area does not take into account liquid-distribution areas at the inlet and outlet, nor edge losses due to support rings, nor unavailable space over tray-support beams. In smaller columns, it is possible that as much as 25 percent of the active tray area may not be available for functioning valves. For this column, which operates at low pressure, select the standard 3 x 2 /2 in pitch.

A vessel supported on two saddles can be considered as a simply supported beam, with an essentially uniform load, and the distribution of longitudinal axial bending moment will be as shown in Figure 13.22. Maxima occur at the supports and at mid-span. The theoretical optimum position of the supports to give the least maximum bending moment will be the position at which the maxima at the supports and at mid-span are equal in magnitude. For a uniformly loaded beam the position will be at 21 per cent of the span, in from each end. The saddle supports for a vessel will usually be located nearer the ends than this value, to make use of the stiffening effect of the ends.
