As the Spreader beam is free for all its three planar DOF (x,y & R z Degrees Of Freedom) at the nodes of application of load, The bar behaves like a TRUSS member and it will resist only the AXIAL force (here, Compression) and it will NOT resist BENDING in the plane. This Spreader Beam is a typical case of Timoshenko's BEAM-COLUMN (Horizontal members having axial loads in addition to lateral loads) with both the ends HINGED. The Elastic Instability in the lateral direction causes the Spreader beam to BUCKLE due to the SLENDERNESS. This imposes the limitation on the Compressive load. The load at which the TRANSVERSE BUCKLING commenced is the CRITICAL load (Pcr). Hence, the STRUCTURAL analysis is made for (1) Direct Compressive Stress, and (2) Critical Load for Transverse Buckling. (A) Design for Normal Stress (Direct Compressive Stress) **** Selecting the Section initially based on this **** Considering the equillibrium of node B , We have 1) the vertical component of resolved P is balanced with W/2, hence P * Sin a = (W/2) => P * Sin a = 552.4 552.4 => P = kN
Sin(180-a)/2
637.9 kN

2) the horizontal component of resolved P induces a compressive force C in spreader beam, hence P * Cos a = C Compressive Force in Beam C = 318.9 kN

As the geometry reveals the criticality of the obligue tensile force from the tie is significant than the horizontal compressive force from the beam. Hence, the design for the tensile stress ensures the design for the compressive stress also.

(E) DESIGN OF ATTACHMENTS - (a) Design of fixed suspension bracket for strength ***** Design procedure for the adjustable (Span variations) suspension bracket for strength shall be followed but for the additional consideration of welding with the adjustable cross beam ***** *** IMPORTANT NOTES *** 1) All the basic assumptions about material properties and their linear beaviour, as made in elementary STRENGTH OF MATERIAL and ELASTICITY THEORY will hold good 2) The adjustments for the load carrying brackets considered throughout this computation are of small quantities compared to the span of the beam and will be well within the operating range of the beam selected.
