[TheForge] moment of a beam

[G. Watts]

Hey, Dave-
I finally had a chance to bend the ear of my current on-site structural
engineer...she ran the calcs and came up with a point load with a bit of
safety factored in of 22 kips.  Translation: about 10 tons.  I'd be
concerned if there were much side load, though it should be OK for picking
straight up and lowering straight down.
George.

I am looking for the on-line tables or if anyone has tables or charts
for finding the safe working load limit of a specific size beam, the
"moment" of a beam.
This is a   W-18, 50 #/foot, depth of 17-5/8", span of 15feet.

If you can point me in the right direction or if you happen to know
the answer, please contact me here: dave at magichammer.net
thanks dave mudge
