Re: curved beams

I remember a client/Architect that wanted me to hold up a structure so I designed him some sky hooks......
as long as the aircraft has fuel he is a happy camper.

First the tatoo artist couldn't figure out what the architect had drawn for his tatoo.  It made absolutely no sense.  When she figured it out, she realized it was not possible to do it in line work.  So after figuring out what the Archie wanted, she completely redrew it for practicality, then went to work.  But the Architect was afraid to let just anyone know he had a tat, so he had her stop it short just above his short-sleeve line.  So you have this fantastic convoluted shape that just seems to stop with loose ends just above his sleeve line - imagine a skyscraper elevation cut off at about mid-level of the first floor with the columns dangling in space.  That's his tattoo.

We can ask to Stephen Hawking for an antimatter universe with other gravitational laws ideal for some architects, or help them to realize the limitations of our one.

There is another relatively painless method contained in Design of Welded Structures by Blodgett.

The only reference that quickly comes to my mind is AISC's "Torsion Analysis of Steel Members".

List members:

 

I have a curved beam (horizontal).  The center line of the beam layout is horizontally offset from the supporting post by about 10+ % of the span.  The arch wants a channel section and will not allow a tube section.  Can anyone suggest a quick method to check for flexure and torsion.  DL is 480plf , LL = 800 plf.  The project in under construction and the detail is due first thing to-morrow morning.
