How to design, calculate, and verify the columns of a steel platform? Are the design methods for edge columns, corner columns, and central columns the same?
Under normal circumstances, the platform has a simply supported beam structure; if it is a continuous beam structure, the stress calculation for the columns is carried out using the method of undetermined coefficients or other methods. But the vast majority are simply supported beam structures. Therefore, it becomes simple to distribute the forces and moments on the platform to the columns. It would be simpler if there were no centrifugal force. Under normal circumstances, the calculation of simply supported beams is safe.
