Beam Bending

Calculating Maximum Bending Stress in an H-Beam

Calculating Maximum Bending Stress in an H-Beam

Calculating the maximum bending stress in an H-beam is a fundamental aspect of structural engineering and design. It ensures that a beam can safely support the loads it will experience in real-world applications.

To perform this calculation, engineers and designers must first identify the location of the maximum bending moment, determine the distance to the neutral axis (c), and find the moment of inertia (I) of the beam’s cross-section.

What is the maximum bending moment for an H beam?

To find the maximum bending moment, you would calculate the bending stress at different points along the beam’s span and identify the point where the bending stress is the highest.
The maximum allowable bending stress (usually based on the material’s yield strength) is used to determine the maximum bending moment the beam can withstand.

Bending Universal Beam

Beams and wide flange are both bent by BIT series section bending machine, from the very small sizes to the very large sizes. Its ability to bend wide flange and I-beam the easy way (against the weak axis) and the hard way (against the strong axis).

PBH-200F 4-Roll Hydraulic Profile Bending Machine

The section bending capacity of PBH-200F four-roll profile bending machine is the same as that of PBH-200 three-roll section bending machine.

Small size, compact and reasonable structure, reliable performance, convenient operation and maintenance, and bending accuracy meets industry standards;

Channel Bending Machine

BIT series profile bending machines can be used as C steel channel bending machines. It should be pointed out that PBH-120, PBH-140 do not support the horizontal section bending of channel steel profiles (Hard-way bending).

The section bending machine specially customized by BIT needs the ninth group of hydraulic drive components for beam bending machine. Due to the rapid development of China’s basic engineering, BIT series profile bending machines are more widely used in steel beam bending, such as the application of Chongqing Metro, a key project in China.
