The Elastic Beam Calculations Handbook presents a concise, yet mathematically rigorous treatment of beams based on elastic theory written at a clear technical level in order that practitioners can quickly learn the essentials and apply elastic beam calculations in their work. This much-needed comprehensive reference covers elastic beams with varying material and section properties, support conditions, span lengths, and other important geometric features. It provides simple and logical presentations of elastic beam problems by addressing each as corollaries of a more general theorem, consequently resulting in numerical work that can be planned and executed with ease, clarity, and optimal results. Structural engineers concerned directly with structural analysis of elastic beam problems will find many examples of useful and neat solutions and the rationale for their validity.Key FeaturesOffers a clear and systematic presentation of hundreds of problems and topics with detailed explanations of the methods and rationale used to obtain solutionsPromotes critical thinking through rigorous mathematical deduction by delineation of the interconnectedness among various topicsDemonstrates the physical significance of formulae, reveals pertinent parameters and delineates their effects on the solutionsProvides the analytical competence of critical thinking in the formulation of elastic beam problems and closed form solutionsIllustrates the assumptions, principles, methods and procedures within the framework of linear elastic behavior of materials that are either explicitly cited or implicitly utilized
