Currently, the specifications of steel sections used in the design of most platforms are determined based on experience; so how can such calculations and analyses be carried out for actual models? Although steel structures are quite comprehensive, it seems that there’s no need to go to such lengths for this type. As shown in the figure below, the platform frame is made of channel steel. The eight points indicated on the I-beam cross-section are the support points. How is it better to calculate this?
A single beam should be like this, but when multiple of them are combined as shown in the image above, I forget how to calculate it. It’s been too long; I haven’t mastered mechanics well
